The 2 friends i was referring to,are a close friends,and i m familiar with their systems,tastes( specially the lm 845 one).
All our audiophile group where thrilled when hearing the combo nenuphar+genus.
Honestly,no idea how much is the damping factor and negative feedback on the genus,but,when in action,you feel that those 22 watt act like 300 w.
The transients,the dynamics,the bass,seperation, i can go on,... all there with ease.
Those 22 w are specials,and many people said,it has no problem driving even mid efficiency speakers.
Another friend,owning sb amati,ordered genus at the same time as me,afterhearing it,let see how it goes....
The lm845 friend went and bought elrog845 and elrog300b,replacing his psvane acme 845 and 300b,and he concluded that elrog is the winner.
