Default ART 150... New and amazing

The crew at c-j has outdone themselves this time. As a long time fan of their products I'm just stunned at the leap forward they have made with the new ART amplifier products. Their big tube amplifiers have always been excellent but the changes this time have added most of what people buy big solid state amplifiers... and at the same time enhancing the beautiful depth and timber of c-j's legendary mid range reproduction. New output transformers have sharpened the clarity of the treble range while enhanced power supply capacity has deepened and increased the punch of the lows. What stunned me the most though is the exciting increase in gravity of musical transients at all frequencies... I guess again due to all that additional power supply capacity.
Even after running their legendary Premier 350 solid state and LP140M mono blocks I had no idea my Wilson's could sound this good. Positive Feedback's online magazine has an excellent review of the new ART monos and a great interview with the designers Jeff, Lew and Bill in the latest issue by Myles Astor. A good read. Anyone shopping for a big tube amplifier will want to here these new ART models. Very pleased with this purchase... and my new avatar.
