Conclusion

What a delightful test again. The differences in sound were very big and with two amps we were confronted again how important matching really is. Our advice: look carefully at what you are looking for and decide what kind of sound you are looking for. With that in mind, you can use this test to filter which model or brand suits you well. Then borrow a model to check if it matches your speakers.
