"I listened to NAD c350, Denon, Marantz, etc.. But this one stood out as the best to my ears. The Nad seemed to have a warmer bottom end, but sounded a bit grainy and tizzy.
This amp is very clear and fast and has great dynamic range, plays at high volume without any change in the sound.
It is great with rythyms."
"Clarity and deep soundstage is guaranteed."
"It has great power, room filling sound."
"This amp has great dynamic range, and you probably won't need to turn volume more than 9 or 10 o'clock
(please note that my speakers are 86 db and 6 ohms)."
"the RA971 is a wonderful amp for the price. Clean, lively, detailed...brings find sound to my speakers."
"This integrated amp is a little gem. Adequate power for most uses with a lively, involving sound. Great dynamics for an amp at this price."
