Serge,

Have you heard if "Stereophile" and/or "The Absolute Sound" is planning/in the midst of doing a review on the Momentums?

I find it amazing this level of performance can be achieved in such a small chassis.

Just curious. Why do you say that?

Many other companies have huge chassis for their amps and they weigh a few hundred pounds.

Yes they do. But that they are huge has not, ime, been a predictor of performance quality.

You're right Bill. But within a company, usually bigger means better (e.g., MC2KW vs MC302)

I like smaller amps (if they have the same sound quality). They are easier to move and place.

My dealer has the Momentum. I have to find a time to audition it in the future.

The Momentums are actually not that small, they are deceiving because it lacks the typical heatsinks and has a very clean design. They are slightly bigger than the Ayre MX-Rs for example. Of course they are 1 ohm stable and are good for 2.2KW into 1 ohm as it turns out.
