Bricasti Amplifier M25


Hello,
I have currently bought a Bricasti M12 DAC/Pre-Amplifier in my two channel system and is thinking of replacing my Parasound Halo A21+ amplifier. One obvious choice would be to pair the Bricasti M12 DAC with a Bricasti amplifier M25 which is a dual mono design and it is a fully balanced model. I am also going to evaluate two other amplifiers Luxman M900u and Parasound Halo JC1+ mono blocks. I have Aerial Acoustics Model 7T as the front speakers. Does anyone have any feedback on the amplifier Bricasti M25? I would go for a home trial of all three shortlisted amplifiers shortly but appreciate your feedback on this subject.
BTW I have already demoed a pair of Gato PWR-222 mono block amplifiers in my set up and the sound appeared to be a little too dark to my taste. So I haven't shortlisted them.

Hello,
This is the 2nd week of auditioning of the Bricasti M25 amplifier and everything appears to be running normal with this amplifier. The speed issue that I pointed out earlier has disappeared and it was indeed a characteristic of the amplifier break-in process.
Thanks.

@indranilsen  Have you compared "speed" (as you put it) now that the amp is "settled," between the Bricasti M25 and your former amplification? Thanks.
@david_ten,
Yes I compared the speed (music appears to be running a tad faster) after the Bricasti unit ran for about 3 days and it matched with other amplifiers like Luxman M900u, Halo A21+, etc and it is the same. So as I mentioned in my earlier post it was possibly a characteristic of the amplifier break-in process. After listening very carefully I also found that Bricasti delivers music with much more power than the other amplifiers that I auditioned. This results fast, detailed and effortless reproduction of music at any frequency which sometimes feels to me faster but it's really not a speed issue.
Thanks.
@indranilsen A superior amplifier / amplifier-speaker pairing, in my experience, will (does) sound "faster" than what one is "used to" versus one’s former pairing... initially.

I have also found that I quickly adjust to the new "speed." The former pairing (once that happens) will sound sloppier and not quite right (in comparison). Put another way, the new pairing will not sound "faster" per se...rather (and importantly) it will sound more correct in terms of musical timing. For example (recording dependant), music can and will sound slower as well. Gaps between notes will be experienced as extended. ETC.

Getting the timing and flow of music correct is, for me, critically important to achieving musical (emotional) engagement and pleasure. This is what better components bring to the table.

I doubt what you experienced was an ’artifact’ related to break in. Again, in my opinion / experience, it is an early and healthy indicator of component performance superiority.

I have heard the M28 monos in person and I walked away very impressed.

It will be interesting to learn which amp you ultimately choose.
@indranilsen nice choice of M12 DAC/Pre into the M25 amp. It's the exact same combo I ended up with in my main system and LOVE it. The amp has the speed that you hear but it's really the speed of real music and once heard other gear now sounds sloooooow. 
Enjoy
