Strength:
Effortless, musical, lack of grain, musical, innovative technology
Weakness:
none I can detect I upgraded from a Yamaha reciever to seperates situation, combining a Krell HTS 7.1 pre-pro with the Bel Canto evo6. Thaes are played through B & W speakers all around (Nautilus 805s, inwalls and center channel). The mating of the revealing Krell with the warmer Bel Canto is a great one. Tremendous liquid midrange, and upper bass. I use a Martin Logan depth subwoofer, so the deep bass is handled elsewhere. All I can say is that the unit has more than enough [power for transients, no grain and it even keeps its cool. You can touch it anytime, its only 10-15 warmer than room temperature. This is because of the switching amp . It is over 90% efficient,compared to classic push pull Class A design, which is 30 % efficient. You can bridge channels with a push of a button and a slight rearrangement of the speaker wires on the posts. If I ever get big power hungry floorstanders that need more power than the 120W (8 ohm), I will buy another evo and bridge the channels.

Strength:
MIDBASS... SO MUCH DETAIL... HELL EVERYTHING IS JUST RIGHT.
Weakness:
Havent got second one yet. I plan to get another and have 6 channels in bridge mode. The product year is actually 2002. I will keep it short because there are plenty of reviews and awards posted on the net for review. I will say that i am amazed and completely happy with the EVO6. It is an amazing amp.. I highly recommend it. wouldent dream of swapping for anything else. Oh and i think the previous reviewer had mistaken the EVO6 for the Paramid super crapblaster 2000 amp/battery charger he bought at the flea market for 6 bucks. Better luck next time guy.. the EVO6 is a world class amp. If your really lucky you can hear one someday. Oh yeah and those arent speaker wires they are jumper cables.
