I have the Makua pre with onboard Tambaqui. I love it. I first used it with a pair of Kaluga amps. Beautiful set up, dynamic and punchy for sure. I have since replaced the Kaluga Monos with a pair of Audionet Max mono amps. To me, much better. Both were great; the Max's are simply amazing. Not any more punchy, but much more finesse, speed, delicacy, soundstage and sparkle. I had the Max amps in another system, so lugged them upstairs just to try. They never moved again!
The pre section of the Kula and Makua are excellent. The Tambaqui is world class. If I had not tried the Audionet Max amps with it, I would still be raving about the Kalugas as well! Ken.
