Just absolutely flawless. I live in Canada, and I had this amp shipped to my house for under $400, which is damn good. Here in E-Town, this goes for $799.99. It is a very musical amplifier; it makes everything sound great, and paired with a T400-4, it's just amazing. I am running 4 Focal 130-CVX and a Focal SUB P 30. This is the best sound quality system I have ever had.
