Is the Sony TA-E1 worth considering?

how do you like the tan-1 amp, how does it compare to the usual suspect, mark levinson, krell, pass..etc

A1126lin:
I also own the ML332 amp and the Krell KAV-1500 (the big one rated @300watts/ch for 5 channels). I personally find the ML332 to be a little dark sounding, polite in a sense while the TAN1 has a bit more musicality to offer. Speakers are ML Prodigy. Bass response is slightly in favor of the Levinson, but highs and treble is better with the Sony. Build is definitely superior with the Sony- no questions asked. Infact the TAN1 is similar to the huge Accuphase mononblocs though it is an original Sony design and in-house product. I have yet to hoook the KAV-1500 in system but wull get around to that in 2-3 weeks time.
Regards.

what's a fair use price for the amp? and the preamp?
