Have you heard if "Stereophile" and/or "The Absolute Sound" is planning/in the midst of doing a review on the Momentums? Philip |

I find it amazing this level of performance can be achieved in such a small chassis.

Just curious. Why do you say that?

Many other companies have huge chassis for their amps and they weigh a few hundred pounds.

Yes they do. But that they are huge has not, ime, been a predictor of performance quality. |

I like smaller amps (if they have the same sound quality). They are easier to move and place. My dealer has the Momentum. I have to find a time to audition it in the future. |

The Momentums are actually not that small, they are deceiving because it lacks the typical heatsinks and has a very clean design. They are slightly bigger than the Ayre MX-Rs for example. Of course they are 1 ohm stable and are good for 2.2KW into 1 ohm as it turns out.

Momentums just fabulous
Just auditioned Momentum monos, Lamm 1.2s and VTL 400 monos with Sashas at Innovative Audio in NYC. Momentums were overall the best ss amps I have ever heard for all listening purposes. Will have to audition Momentums and Lamms at my home w Sashas and Ref 40 pre. Lamms have more of a characteristic sound (warm, full but transparent) which may mate better with Ref 40 and Sashas, but Momentums were paragons of power, neutrality with just a hint of sweetness formerly unknown to me in a purely ss amp. They excel in every way and will be hard to beat. Will probably keep my Ref 150 amp which I also love and alternate with Dag (stereo version maybe later to be mono) or Lamm. Easily prefer Ref 150 over VTL 400s. More transparent and better extension. In home listening tests probably a few months away.
