No sneering Please

@bigtiwn - how many reviewers do you personally know?  How many systems of theirs have you heard on a regular basis?  Are you an industry person?  Manufacturer?  Unless you have heard their systems and can hear what you hear, then IMO, the review can be somewhat of a guide but I personally take a review for what it is worth as I stated before.  Unless you have heard Mike Fremer's system, you will never understand what he is hearing.  You can understand my advice if you want or do whatever you think is for you.

All the best to you and your family and Happy Holidays.

@bigkidz  I don't know any reviewers.  I'm not in the industry.  I'm just a retired guy who loves music.  I didn't mean any offence when I questioned your statement.  I just don't get all the negative comments about reviews.  Call me naive, but I like to think publications such as Absolute Sound would not intentionally print misleading reviews and would be publishing reviews by people with a lot more knowledge of equipment than I have.  I wouldn't run out and buy something based on one article, but I also wouldn't discount the reviewers opinion just because it's the first I've read.  When I read the list of equipment the reviewer is using for his baseline comparisons, it's usually top shelf gear?  Are reviewers a bit jaded?  Possibly.  But if I want a review that trashes equipment and tells me what a waste of money it is, I can always jump over to ASR to cleanse my palate.  🤣  Merry Christmas.

@terry9 and even better if compared to heard voices a cappella….. 

I haven’t looked at the failure modes of the amp the OP is promoting, great speakers don’t like DC…..

@crustycoot IMF….man that guy had ears…. i worked at a store that carried them in 1978…. simply wonderful…..

By the way, aside from linking that Absolute Sound review on the Technics SU-G700M2, I own it, love it, and will not part with it unless I come into a ton 'o money, in which case, I'd probably buy the SU-R1000.

All the best & Happy Holidays, 🍷🎼 ⛷️🚑 🏥

I have a couple Fosi amps including v3. Color me impressed.    One drives a pair of KEF ls50s very nicely.   Audio Science Review site has done reviews of many affordable amps like these and is a good resource for more info.
