T+A Amps and Preamps?

Finally did an A/B with the BHK 300 monos vs the T+A a3000hv.  First of all they are both great amps.  I could be happy with either but in a head to head, the T+A was more refined and was also more natural sounding.  It was also quicker and better with micro detail.  I am keeping the T+A.  

I was really interested in the T&A HV line and was close to working a deal with a dealer to buy his demos for a much more reasonable price. At the end of the day I just couldn't justify the outlay for a product unheard and the only true way to know how a system will sound is to get it home in ones own system.

What I have done for years is buy used, try it in my system and the sell it if I was not satisfied or wanted to go in a different direction. If you buy it right on the used market, you can usually turn it around for what you purchased it for. Worst case scenario, you might loose a few hundred dollars. I would have no reservations on the a3000hv. It is a phenomenon piece of equipment, assuming the rest of your rig is up for the challenge.

Thanks for the first-hand report, @bmontani .

Anyone compared the T+A HV line with the SPL line from Germany that also has a high voltage design.
