Sorry Csontos, I know audio is subjective. The Boulder 1060 is a $25k amp and is very good. It's just you description of Boulder as a "light weight" and blowing them out of the water is a stretch for a boutique amp. I'm sure Mike Bettinger is a good audio engineer, and i'm sure it is a very musical amp. But really Boulder, like Vitus, Rowland etc are all big players in high end, so you'll have to forgive my reaction. The most important thing is how the amp sounds. If it is a good match for your speakers and system, and brings a smile to your face that's all that matters.
