ive owned the legendary CAT SL1 MK III preamp years back and loved it. Not that long ago I almost bought a much newer and improved version but they have no remote and I am way too lazy to get up and change the volume all the time even though I could have worked around it with my Bricasti volume control but still it was enough to pass.
I have also heard their mono amps and think they sound fantastic but in a real world set up like mine where my audio room is not just a pure audio only room for just me? I have a family with younger children my audio room is the great room over my garage with cathedral ceilings and big old L shaped leather sectional where me and my wife and kids spend tons of time together and thankfully so.
I want to share as much time as possible with them when I’m not working. They love music and my audio system and my system is hooked to my 75” TV as well. It makes for a fun family set up. It’s a pure 2 channel set up but still works and sounds great. No interest in HT what’s so ever.
Those CAT mono blocks are just ridiculously obnoxious for a family room.
They don’t fit in my solid tech racks and are just huge - have tons of thin glass waiting to get stumbled into and throw tons of heat. I can’t think of a more absurdly non family friendly audio item on the planet regardless of great they sound. I do admit though that sound wise they are awesome but those thing are flame throwing beasts.
