I'm very happy to hear that I didn't offend you as I wouldn't want that. As far as my line about "blowing away", well, I guess I was a little excited of the fact that even I couldn't believe how good the Perreaux was. When you wrote without context, well we did compare both amps for over 6 hours and the Prisma 350 was better in all areas. Bass, mid-range, and the highs. I really don't want to get into a full review here, but this is just my opinion on the two amps. If anyone feels a CJ can beat a Perreaux, well good for them, but I know what I know, and it's my system, and my system sounds fabulous. I'm being nice here, believe me. This last paragraph was not for you directly, it was for everybody and you did not offend me at all. tubegroover, I wish you many years of happy listening in whatever system you have, and I'm sure it's a great one. I also want to tell you that I own a tube amp and it's the PS Audio BHK Signature 250 in my second system.
