[QUOTE=johndoe21ro;896017]What did you like about the Thunder?

In comparison to the Wireworld Silver Electra 7, the Thunder provided deeper bass, while providing a clarity that allows me to hear details deeper in the soundstage. I always use the same CD's when evaluating new components. On my Kirk Whalum CD percussions were more detailed. The piano on a Marcus Johnson live CD had more "air" with additional weight to the notes.

I couldn't help it... I've bought myself a Hurricane! Traded in the NRG-1000...

P.S. What about the carbon DBS? Is it stock for some cables? Do you have to buy it? Only the black ones come as stock with the power cables? Did anyone listen to both of them one next to the other?

I've had a pair of Hurricanes (amps) in my system for a week.

They don't suck, that is all.

I didn't compare them with anything, I have used AQ products for a long time so I just bought them.

The silliest thing on audio forums are old guys with lousy hearing telling people what they hear.
