"The Verdict"
"This is a powerful AV component capable of producing a spacious sound field with lightning-fast dynamics. Its natural pairing is, of course, the matching AMP 20, but feel free to go on your own adventure with amplification. The AV 20 also provides a gateway to Dirac ART, a significant revelation in its own right. Coupled with the AV 20, it produced the tightest, cleanest, and most impactful bass I’ve ever experienced in my home cinema, no less."
