The EVO 400 I heard did not sound solid state to me. Indeed, I immediately compared it to a Parasound set up, and the difference was marked. But perhaps to some other tube amp...
I sold my PL Dialogue Premium, non HP looking to get the Focals to their potential...
I listened to the PL, expecting to purchase it after all the reviews I had read. I was very disappointed. Listened to an Octave 70 also. Better soundstage, but the sound itself was disappointing. They produced sound, but that’s about all I could say about them. Then I listened to the mac mac352 hybrid. So clean, clear, more control, detailed, etc etc. everything the other two were not. I ordered the mac.
