Strength:
Wonderful mid range. Incredible and tube like highs. Powerful but controlled bass.
Weakness:
It costs not enough. Other brands offer products that cost at least 3 TIMES this one and the results are not at the same level. The final amp by itself is really something. You should give a look at the Electrocompaniet web site to better understand the "philosophy" of Per Abrahamsen with regards to his approach to music reproduction. The sonic results are oustanding and they are really worth while a listening by a Hi-Fi center. Even if You are an expert audiophile with High End reference systems please take Your time to give an audition to this amps and, my personal advice, to the other elements from EC. The sound is all there from low frequencies to the high ones with a sense of "liquidity" in the the mid range that makes You fall in love with this product in particular if You listen to music for many hours in a day. The result of all this, in my case, was the purchase of the Pre 4.7 and then the marvellous CD Player EMC1 with the 24/292 DAC. The Sinergy that You can create (using high level XLR balanced signal cables like the Audioquest Amazon that I'm using at the moment) is something that can be defined as a REFERENCE in high end misic listening. If You think this is not completely true, please try with Your own ears and experience. P.S.: Sorry for my English: I'm Italian. Similar Products Used: Mark Levinson. musical Fidelity.

Strength:
Midrange and treble clarity
Weakness:
Power at 120 WPC at 8 ohms - limits extreme bass slam I have gone through quite a few amps in my time (20 years of spending money-trading etc.) and I always liked the Levinson sound for clarity and the BIG McIntosh for ease and non-fatigue listening. I recently sold the Levinson and bought the Electrocompaniet 120 based on the quality of my Electrocompaniet CD player. I am bi- amping a pair of Legacy Whispers with it and a Mcintosh 352. The 120 handles the upper 300hz and above and what sweetness it is. It has a tube quality but also brings a sense of realness and handles Similar Products Used: Mark Levinson 331, Mcintosh 352 - Forte 4A |

Strength:
Exceptionally musical.
Weakness:
None. I have used the DMB120 with the EC 4.6 pre-amp for almost two years and I cannot praise them too highly. The DMB120 is a super high powered design (80A!) capable of driving any speaker load presented to it. In musical terms, the soundstage is expansive with no background noise or interference, allowing the musicians to present themselves to you in a way that forced me to make the purchase. In terms of the price/quality ratio, I cannot think of anything that comes close. |

The AW120 DMB partnered with the EC 4.5 is undoubtedly the best pre/power combination I have heard todate. Tube like in sound without being laid back. Very musical and velvety. Difficult combination to beat. Very exhilirating. With the EMC 1 CD player, the most ideal high end set-up you can find. Now I believe this is as close as you get to real music. Try and audition it and you will not be sorry ! I would have given it a 10 but I am constrained to give it a 5. |
