Somewhat surprisingly, this amp.
I use it with B & W DM4 speakers and rendering is pretty convincing: the detailed, full and issue power, y 'has more than enough. Precision (analytical according to some, but it's not my opinion) is interesting for the work mixes.

But what is amazing about this amp is that it is allergic to CD mixed by potatoes (lol). On recordings / mixes treated, listening is a treat. But in mixes damn wrong (too high in acute low levels or between crappy instrumentals), the defects are accentuated and listening quickly becomes puzzle. Other amps cut corners, it goes into their bacon.

So good amp or not? For me, very good (it's not an amp € 5000 either) but not complacent for a penny. No need to flog him in the dirt, he spits out as dry.
