That "Porsche" analogy is very sweet, but I'm more BMW M5 V10 style. What amp correlates?

Thanks.

Not very profound review. Just couple of chapters about the sound. Everything else there you can read ARCs website. I just wonder that they have this amp for review and this is all they come up with?

I could only add,
ARC made a Homerun with the ARC REF150
If space is a problem you could not go wrong with it.
After 2 hours of warming up the Amp goes from super excellent to
a word that i'm still waiting from the Grammar Academy to come out.
But the word I'm thinking is What@#$@@ Fk, is that good !!!!
Feels like no ending power and how glorious it performs.
You can almost sense the presence of the artist you listen to.

Looks like my new avatar should be an empty wallet. I am just trying on the D'Agostino amp for size, looks good I'd say.
