Canary Audio...

Arthur Salvatore covers Canary (favorably) on his website
www.high-endaudio.com>recommended components. As I recall, he or some associates made a direct comparison between it and several other amps of that type.

I have the 309s but in stock form they are not nearly as good as the 339s. I also briefly owned a 301 years back.
The 301s simply dont have enough power to drive anything under 92dB/Watt IMO.

After pulling out all the Multicaps from the 309s and replacing them with Hovland Musicaps which are used in the 339 I think
in terms of liquidity they are right there with the best.
Bass is still twangy driving my Avalon Eidolons but they definitely have enough dynamics and ability to play Chopin Scherzos to neighbor-complaining levels with no smear or breakup. The 309s can also drive my Quad 989 very nicely.

I still like my main reference which is the VAC Phi 70 better but the VACs don't like TJ FullMusic 300Bs while the canarys really sing with them.
Whether your system sounds good with any Canary amp depends on the efficiency of the speakers, and what kind of music you enjoy most.

An important consideration in any component purchase is factory support and service.

This is true for both offshore and domestic companies.
