The Thor TPA 150 Monoblocks are incredible

I just received a pair of the newly released Thor Audio TPA 150 monoblocks.
I am totally in awe!
These are the finest sounding and most beautiful amplifiers in the world; after owning a number of well-known reference amplifiers and attending 5 straight CES's (lots of time at the Alexis Park) I have had much to compare them with.
If you get a chance to hear and see these new REFERENCE monoblocks you too will be amazed....yes I realize they are indeed expensive....contrary to other expensive products, these guys are worth it!!!

If you've heard Thor products you'll know Musicdesign's enthusiasm is not misplaced.

How about telling us about your system and where you auditioned them or from where borrowed them, so we can put your comments in some kind of context? Are you a dealer or associated with one, as your moniker tends to suggest? Interesting...

I've heard Thor gear too, in a demo of CD players. I still remember clearly the sound. It left a vivid wonderful impression on my mind, but I cannot afford it. It sounds to me like Musicdesign could have just gotten excited and wanted to tell his/her friends here at Audiogon. I had a similar reaction to the Audio Note DACs.

Some of the comments in this thread remind me of the current state of America: trust no one, second guess everyone's intentions. How can we live together into the future with this state of mind?

I agree with Ohhwy61! Many who come in contact with Thor will come away impressed.

On several occasions, I have come across Thor equipment, and have been absolutely smitten. A warm, very rich sound. Of course, it does not come cheap, but there are perhaps the ticket off the merry go round. A lifetime purchase?

If this also sounds like a magazine ad, so be it...

I've only heard the 30 watt stereo amp and the original preamp. It was at Holm Audio (suburban Chicago). I believe the speakers were Alon Circe. It sounded so good! Is it the best? Probably not, but I can't really say that I've heard anything that is really better.

BTW, I do have a link with Thor. My mother goes to church with a woman whose bother-in-law's nephew is the school bus driver for the son of the under assistant to the west coast promo man for Thor.
