Some comments are:

"None of the instruments -- the piano, the clarinet, the sax, the vibraphone or the ever-present crowd -- was reproduced less than flawlessly, each placed where it should be in that familiar 3-D space. The percussion sounded rather light...meaning fast not thin, and that's good. Rhythm was nothing less than magical. This was astonishingly close to our reference
"The first thing we noticed was the sheer impact of the music, a clear indication that the I-4's power rating is not just spin doctoring. The brass was very good, without shrillness, and the woodwinds excellent. The snare drum was at once clear and realistic. This music, by Vaclav Nelhybel, is as rhythmic as it is dynamic, and the I-4 did well by it on both counts."

"An excellent choice for price-conscious
audiophiles with discriminating sonic
and aesthetic tastes."

Sound

"Clean, clear, lively, and punchy" -- "not a romantic-sounding integrated amp"; "sounds more powerful due to its impressive dynamics"; "shows reasonable depth of stage, but not the vast spaciousness some other integrated amps can muster."

Features

"Audiophile niceties with music-lover practicality," including a full-function remote control, high-quality power cord, and start-up muting feature.

Use	Responds "subtly to tweaks," including a "rock-solid" foundation and cones or isolators; Doug found the unit to sound its best plugged directly into the wall.

Value

"Makes perfect sense for those who want something really good, but don’t want to re-mortgage the house or sell the car to get it."

Thanks for viewing.
