Clash of the Titans

I will definitely post my experiences here, but since my Soundlab speakers are in the process of being built, it won't be before the end of August, before I can post here concerning these amps and Soundlab speakers.

Tekunda, feel free to contact me once your Soundlab speakers are broken in, I have tweaks that will help performance.

Have had the CAT SL-1 for years, have had the Jadis JA-80 for years.
Also had the chance to listen to the Jadis JA-200, and the JL-1 CAT mono's.
I cannot comment on the other US amps. but i can say with full confidence that entering the Atma-Sphere MA-2 mkII in my system has turned my audiophile world upside down.
I experience an openness and lifelike sound which is hardly to describe in technical terms.
the Jadis and CAT amps are very good mind you.
but compared i experience a much wider frequency, and a much more open sound with the MA-2's. Another thing is the drama and the speed of the amps which is staggering.
I partner my MA-2's with a Cello Encore preamp, and listen to LP only.
The MA-2 is the most reliable amp ever had in my 25 years of listening to music.
Use them balanced in any case.
I use the Voce Divina speaker system for some 6 years now.

regards and enjoy the music !
