Congrats Jérôme, Félicitations; it's a winner amp for sure!

Will you use it for bass (in biamp) when 2301s will be back?

Yes Jim,
I was exactly thinking about that. It should have handles...

Hi JM,

No ! it will be used for HT, ambiance music, kids and so on...
I'm beginning to wonder how we'll climb this beast at the second floor without handles...

Jerome,

Congrats... I had the 402 as a back up for some time. Loved it.

Only thing is... IT IS SOO HEAVY. makes the 501's seem portable.

Jerome, congrats on the addition. You'll have some quality music while your 2301 is getting checked out. The 402 is a nice amp to have as both backup and for future use.

Jerome...congrats on your purchase! You've got a wonderful amp that sounds like tubes with the reliability of ss. The amp looks great with the 3D face and LED lighting. A word of advice, it's very heavy.

Dave

Congrats Jerome on your amp - watch out, you might end up getting another and running them in Mono
