Conrad Johnson - MV60 - anyone heard one?

Today I got a chance to listen to an MV60 through some JBL floorstanding speakers and it sounded pretty good in a room with lousy sound. Has anyone heard this amp? I did some search on the internet for reviews and I found a few. Most said that it had great treble and midrange, but they were sort of opposing on the bass end. One review said it had soft bass and another said it had punchy bass. Unfortunately, both reviewers were not using the same equipment, so who knows.

I just got both the MV60 and PV-14. I'm having a hard time typing since I'm listening to it now and my jaw keeps falling on the keyboard:^)

I listened to the mv60se with my amati's. Indeed not the highest high nor lowest low but boy did it make MUSIC!!! Don't expect the highest sound levels. Sam Tellig said it all.

I've had the PV14L pre with the MV60se for about a month now, I use them to run my Quad 988. During the first few days of auditioning I thought that everything sounded recessed and the lower end was a little too rubbery for my liking, but I may have just gotten acclimatised to the setup or so but now my opinions have definately changed.

The midrange is superb, with natural vocals, unforced sound, lifelike perception of the music and staging. The upper register rolls off a little(but to my liking). The bass doesn't suffer from too my overhang anymore, though lacking in overall wallop is still precise and smooth.

I'm finding the longer I'm using the CJ combination the more I am enjoying the musical presentation and forgetting to listen to the sounds and trying to analyse but just having fun.

Hope that helps
