Review: Meitner MTR-101 Amplifier


Category: Amplifiers

Meitner 101- Comes with completely enclosed mahogany cabinet, multi rod cooling fins. Very high quality parts and meitner power supply technology used in these units. Excellent electrical characteristics afford very tight bass with huge reserve power for dynamics found in classical music. Warm to neutral midrange, that is controlled and not irritating. Wonderful soundstage, picking up most details of more complex music. The size does not dictate performance. Power handling doesn't tell the story. These are fantastic amps, still being serviced by the designers, Ed Meitner and John Wright. Can now be found at EMM Labs at 403-225-4161.

Sorry to say it, but if these amps are as good as you seem to think, then they should certainly be deserving of a better 'review' job than this, which tells us practically nothing - don't you think?. Why not try again - this time paying some attention to the A'gon review guidelines, because this really doesn't qualify as one.
I feel that Tupperz's review of the Meitner MTR-101 informative. I too, am a very happy owner of these amplifiers. If following the A'gon review guidelines means running down some other products to boost my ego, then, I am sorry, you wouldn't get it from me. I hope that others who read these reviews will bear in mind that pride of ownership dictates biased opinions towards specific comparable products. All I can say is if you are interested in power amplifiers that will not misbehave in the highs, have great rythm and pace, convey expressive musical performances well, then give the Meitner MTR-101 a listen. By the way, never buy any products you haven't listen to extensively.
It's good to know that we should "never buy any products you haven't listen to extensively".
Since Tupperz has "listen to extensively" to the Meitner, I for one, would welcome more info on his experience with this product. Specific musical passages, system (source, speakers), his musical tastes -- yes, maybe even comparisons with other amps. Cheers
My philosophy is, if you're going to ask of someones's time by prompting them to click on your thread, then at least do them the courtesy of taking the time yourself to make your thread a worthwhile effort. A'gon has no guidelines suggesting anyone should treat a review as an boost ego, AV_specialist, but that's what seems to be most of your motivation here. I realize Audiogon 'reviews' are free, but that doesn't mean we want to spend time clicking and reading an 'article' no one would be interested in buying. Sorry to sound so pissy, but after being shortchanged by enough of these lazy attemts at reviews (seemingly written only to enter the contest, or else why bother?), I begin to lose patience at a certain point. I've already put more sweat into my responses than is on display at the top. Both Tupperz and AV_specialist are probably more than capable of writing an interesting and informative review of this relatively uncommon product, but we're still waiting for it. Is it any wonder this thread never really garnered any response? Audiogon's forum is only as good a place to spend time as we try to make it.
