Best Sir,

No, he was reluctant to buy without hearing it in his setup. I let him take mine home and use it. I stopped by later tonight and he was in heaven.... I listened for a good hour and have to say this thing sounds fantastic. It has no right to sound as good as it does for the $3500 price. I was blown away. I left it with him and am sure it will not ever leave his house.

He is using B&W 805 Matrix. This amp really made them come alive.

Great “toy”!!! I look forward to seeing more photos of your new acquisition and how you setup your system. (Plus your impressions and review)

Regards

You’re one heck of a friend letting him use it before you have. Hell, the drive home from the dealer alone would be killing me with anticipation.
