Advantages: Price, appearance.
Disadvantages: Doesn’t like low impedance acoustics with 4th failure, up to 3rd.
Comment: Do not believe advertising. There are no miracles for this money. The parameters of the amplifier do not correspond to those stated.

Advantages: Very powerful and correct amplifier! Design - super for my taste. Plays just superbly draws everything to the smallest detail. Great circuit design, balanced circuit, build quality - more than great! Even packed in a double box! Made in Taiwan. In short, the amplifier is just a fairy tale. Yes, and good long power wires are a trifle, but even at a height! The damping coefficient is more than 800 !!!! One of the few which price here is equal to the price for a hill !!!
Disadvantages: Output only one speaker
Comment: For the first time I noticed in the test of two-block amplifiers of the magazine stereo and video (10.2009), where he was declared the winner. I bought together with the P-3, it cost less than 50 tr. In my opinion, in its price range out of competition. If you are planning to buy an amplifier in this price category - give up the bad idea to take the integral.
Take a parasound!

Disadvantages: For such money (28000) they simply can not be.
Comment: Not a big size.
Nice design and advanced switching only plus. Balanced inputs.
Improves and brings to a new level of quality, starting everything from ressivir and ending with an external DAC.
