Dang, I’m late again getting my review to press.
I haven’t read Stereophile’s take on it, but as I have stated in another thread here- Any M1200 reviews due, the M1200’s are so good that I’m keeping them long term in my review system. Let me steal a little bit of Stereophile’s thunder on behalf of the positive-feedback.com crew. These amps are without a doubt reference quality. It’s pretty amazing for an amplifier to have this much power on tap and still exhibit the delicacy and nuance of the very finest low-powered amps I’ve ever heard. It’s the perfect reviewer’s tool amp - you can use any speakers known to man, presenting the most ridiculous of loads, and this amp will just go “Ha,” smile, and make those bad boys sing.
If Stereophile doesn’t make the M1200’s a fixture in their “A” Class of recommended components, then I’ll be a monkey’s uncle, or rather, they’ll be.
