Sound.
Not simple acoustics for the amplifier.
I changed my old B& W 684, which played in tandem with Maratz PM7004 + Marantz Na7004, on B& W 603 S2 AE. The acoustics turned out to be "heavy" for this amplifier, the amplifier was triggered at a volume of 40%. With 684, even at maximum volume, very rarely the amplifier went into defense. I had to change the amplifier. I listened to the Polt.ru Rotel 1572 MK2, Maratz 8006, Roksan K3 in the cabin. Marantz 8006 Listening did not pass, Rotel is not bad, Roxan - I really liked it. T.K. I needed a ligament of the mind+network player, stopped at the new Roksan Attessa Streaming Amplifier. 603 tusks sound good with him, but the amplifier is decently heated. The non -linear increase in the volume on the Roksan Attessa Streaming amplifier was surprised, you play the volume 70 percent comfortably, you want to louder - you add only 1-2 divisions, and the volume increases significantly. I hope they will finish in the new firmware.
