Maker Audio NL14 and NL14+...

I would be grateful to hear any listening impressions from those of you who will be lucky enough to hear the NL14+ amps at CES or who have heard them previously. In particular if you already own an NL 10.1 or NL 12.1 and hear the 14s and are thinking of upgrading, please let me know as well. Thank you!

A/B the Quicksilver Silver 88 with the NL14+ on 96Db speakers

 The 14+ destroyed the 88!!! No contest game over now on to the EAR 890 for a Monday A/B

Will be interested to hear your assessment. Maker Audio mostly flies under the radar but the products are outstanding for the money. My Ref 2a amp outclassed and replaced some very good class D amps I was listening to (Devialet, Ncore and Auralic) while providing an audio upgrade in almost every parameter: increased body, sound-staging, decay, delicacy and naturalness, all without missing any detail or extension.

Having owned an NL14 Stereo and heard the NL14+ as well as the Edge NL12.1s before them (Maker Audio's came from Edge), that's very easy to believe. Tom Maker has long enjoyed a reputation in the audio industry for building amazing solid state amps....
