These amps replaced my Atmasphere S30 OTL amp. The AGD Audions are better in every way and are less costly to run/maintain. These amps deliver a fantastic soundstage with truly superb transients. My aim is to create a 'live' sound and with a live recording these amps really take you to the venue.
The KT88 'valve' is actually the GanFET power stage. I purchased these amps in Mkii version and was able to easily update to Mkiii status simply by swapping with new Gantubes. The Mkii Audion was fabulous but the Mkiii Audion is even better. There is more detail even at very low level and the dynamics are even more startling. I'm not great at describing things in audiophile terms but with the Audions I just feel the music is more enjoyable.
