This amp is Amazing with the Focal Sopra N.3's !
![]() ![]() This Progression Integrated is a lot smaller and weighs a lot less than the latest Relentless amp but it has more in common than you might expect ! In English below.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BsCaYIVtbE Last edited by Rick721; 04-20-2021 at 08:06 PM. |

Listened to this amp today, hooked up to a pair of Wilson Sasha's.
Got to admit that I was blown away! My mate played 'Blue Moon' sung by Julie London on a streamer /DAC (he is not into vinyl). OMG I've NEVER listened to a 3 dimensional soundstage as focused yet expansive as what I heard there. I didn't want it to end. The only issue was that he was overloading his small listening room, so the bass was a bit overpowering (he likes that!), and that's the rooms fault. Also, the amp looks a bit over the top in photos, but in real life, it looked fabulous. The quality of the construction was 1st rate. You cannot help patting it like its your favourite cat. Even my friend who was with me, who normally hates the look of high end audio gear, loved the amp. I want one! |

Unfortunately, those #'s have little meaning for those of us who do not read Stereoplay as we don't know if they rate other high-end integrated amps in the 60's or 70's or.........?

70 is maximum, if I recall well. Above 60 is excellent. The best ones get 64-68.
