First impressions - great!

I finally managed to get this Magtech amp by Sanders Sound Systems. I do not have the expertise and experience to write a proper review. So I just want to report my initial impressions after about a week listening.

Before employing the Magtech in my configuration, I had a chance to compare it to the Bryston 4B-SST. It walks all over it in naturalness and cohearance. It is true to the source instead of sounding analytical like the Bryston. The Bryston sounds like a lab instrument and the Sanders sounds like the way music should be.

Getting to my set-up, I have Maggies 3.6 active bi-amped with a couple of Innersound 300 ESL and a REL B1 sub. I upgraded the bass amp with the Magtech. Wow! So much more bass I could live without a sub. Sound is more dynamic and it has true body, definetly a touch warmer.
This amp also draws only 10W when idle, remaning stone cold. So it is meant to be left always on. Hopefully, I will soon be able to substantiate with some measured graph Magtech claims regarding the regulator amplifier, i.e. stable voltage regardless of load, zero RF energy, and virtually unchanged distortion regardless of power level.

It would be pretentious of me to say that it is the best amp I have ever heard, so for now, I am just enjoying it!
