Mastersound's 845 Integrated

Hey Warren,

I own a MasterSound Reference 845 Integrated Amp. Pure Class A..40WPC, running with 4 KR 845, 2 Mullard 12AUT, and 2 Emperex Holland 7119. She is gorgeous and dead on pace with speed, soundstage is dynamically amazing , true timbre, strong tight bass...best amp i ever owned..well except for the 845 Monoblocks..that's next on my list.

Previously i have owned... Antique Sound Lab AQ1001DT, Synthesis Nimis, and Cary SLA-70B Signature...these were ok and fun to roll tubes around with..sold all of these and got the Mastersound...best move i ever made in the audiophile department.

Hope that helps. Best of luck to you.

My experience with them are as follows:

It was musical with a good soundstage.
Controlled bass with proper weight and body.

It was not very detailed and the amps were a little on the warm side to my tastes.

I suggest an extended personal audition with your equipment.

I decided on seperates. Went with the Bel Canto SET40 and the Bel Canto SEP1 pre. A marraige made in heaven. My speakers were made for 845s. Wonderful synergy. Thanks though...
