unforgetable

Weakness:

heavy and warm...

I and my nephew were looking for any amplifier for his couple of b&w 804 loudspeakers... We tested naim, vecteur, vincent, ... The prelude is like a new birth, no other amplifier is able to give you this sound at this price... Yeah, naim is great but very pricey! The b&w 804 and prelude are beautyful...

smooth and accurate, strong tight bass for a tube amp, remote

Weakness:

I have the Prelude reference model that includes aremote and maybe newer parts than the original Prelude.

This amp provided an immediate improvement in overall listening pleasure from my previous antique sound lab amp model aq1003dt which also uses el34 tubes. Has the smooth lifelike midrange of other tube amps but also has extended highs and deep tight bass of transister amps. However, unlike the solid state amps that people claim to be "tube like" , I can listen to this Audiomat amp for hours without any listener fatigue. I highly recommend this amp.

I do think that the concerns the disgruntled owner below mentions are somewhat valid as I believe there are only five dealers in the U.S.A. and resale could be a problem. However, if you build a great product, and this is a great product, word will spread , and it is already. See the Listener review a couple of months ago of the less expensive but similar arpege model, no remote and less expensive box, etc. They loved it. 5 stars for sure.

my equipment includes:
Meadowlark Hotrod speakers
Cambrige Audio cd5 (interim player until sacd, etc. works itself out).
various cables from the name brands.

Similar Products Used:

various other tube and standard integrated amps
