So I was going to bring this back to guitar center after I tried it out. But here it sits in my rack, a daily driver for a few months. I liked the 700B in most ways, as it regards to sound quality, over this amp. To get the most out of it, I used the 2v XLR connections out of the Denon DAP-2500 preamp, with the 901 VI EQ in the tape loop. There just wasn't enough gain in the unbalanced output it seemed.
The amp was an oh-so-easy impulse buy. It's quiet, and I'm VERY picky about noise. (No big transformer here). Buying this more or less reflects impatience on my part, as a little more planning on the long term likely would have given me a 700B WOPL. Still higher cost. Nonetheless, I've been a happy camper with this: excellent power for these speakers, low noise, doesn't heat the room, lower AC usage, doesn't hurt my back to use & it sounds pretty decent.
Anyway, I've kinda been missing you folks, and I hope all is well with everyone here and with your families - take care.
