Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money) as the best sounding (solid state) amps regardless of price. They even bettered the best amps from Krell, Mark Levinson, et...

No question the thing needs a good buffer, anyway, and I would prefer to have it single-ended, just so I don't have to change everything over to balanced to make it work.  As far as features, including the number of inputs, why not have a +/-modular,...

There was a good article about this very subject in 2004. You have to pay to use the NYT's archives, but one of Michael Green's disciples quoted it on their website, and they didn't get sued for copyright, so I guess it is OK to post it here: If ...
