Swiss amps. Worth the price?


Is there such thing as Swiss sound? Are they good, anyway? Certainly cost a lot of dead Washingtons.

Hi Jazz,

No I am in the French part, near Geneva, where some of the most powerful brabds are:
Goldmund/Dartzeel/CH Precision/Nagra/Audio Consulting/SwissSonor/Tron/ Eternity Joe/Stenheim/Le Son/Rowen (on the border)

The German part has LumenWhite/Boenicke/Weiss/Illusonic/Klangwerk/Soulution/ColoTube/Swiss cables/Piega, etc

The Italian part has Heil AMT.
FM Acoustics (German Part) is in the calibre of Dartzeel and Goldmund.

Goldmund is the biggest of them all and their flagship speaker starts at $600K. Active/Wireless Apologue.

LumenWhite has an outstanding TT out there called the Mystere... the tech is SoTA.

This company makes fantastic stuff.
I have never understood why F.M. Acoustics has no distribution in the United States. It seems like all the other Swiss companies do.
FM Acoustics recently signed an agreement with AudioArts to be their  NA Distributor. http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/new-yorks-audioarts-and-the-return-of-fm-acoustics/
Based in NYC, AudioArts probably carries more Swiss High End gear than any other dealer in NA. CH Precision, Nagra, Stenheim, Audio Consulting and FM Acoustics. 
As a Nagra and CH Precision user, I can attest to the outstanding build quality of the gear.
