Default Momentum Stereo amp

Anyone heard one yet?

How much of the monoblock sound and control does it maintain.

can it drive speakers like the Wilson sasha and Maxx3's to their full potential?

cheers

I love the looks of that amp. I have a napkin holder from the 1950s with similar retro modern look.

Feel free to make fun of me. My wife does. That napkin holder has made it with us thru 10 moves.

Excuse the poor blackberry pics. Just plugged everything in and playing music.

I have these on loan from the importer for a week or so.

It has taken just one song for me in my system to much prefer the Momentum Stereo to the Ayre MX-R monoblocks. The Momentum S has upper frequency air and nice drive that I prefer. The Ayre monoblocks do have a better finish and build thou.

My daughter walked into the room and just said, yellow,green and silver - that is disgusting and looks terrible - Another hit with the females in the family

I think that amp looks great! Bet is sounds great too. I am betting that On Loan turns into I Own! That is unless your daughter has her way.
