Here are two that were full of praise of ARC's DSi200 (the smaller integrated amp version of the DS450):

Furthermore, AeroSmith on this site had Ayre MX-Rs that could not drive his Revel Ultima Salon 2s. He substituted in the DS-450s and they had no problems. They are now driving his Wilson Maxx 3s. He seems to like them. I have no opinion. I get that we all come to this hobby with preconceived notions and biases but it seems to me keeping an open mind about a new technology/circuit topology makes sense if you are seeking continual improvement in the search of the sound you are seeking. So why preclude a technology until you hear it for yourself and judge it then.
