I must say upfront that I am not an Audiophile, and I refuse to listen to "Audiophile" music; that is music that is recorded well but is boring. I must also say that I packed up my listening room and sold most the real equipment when we moved into the new house. Our new home has a very large family room with 20" tall ceilings. We installed the top of the line B&W In-walls, Signature whatever.... We had been using a VAC Avatar at our old house, and in a smaller room all was fine. With the larger room, the VAC could not drive these large B&W in-walls and the music sounded lost even at low volumes. Voices in movies were not clear and the system was boring. My main consideration for buying this MA7000 was to never, ever, have to purchase another amp, so I went big.
That all said, the amp sounds great to us, music is music at all volumes, an dialog in movies and television are crystal clear. I cannot tell you much more than that because we have a 3 month old baby girl and I will not turn this beast up and scare or disturb her.
The amp seems perfect for us. Sorry that I cannot be more descriptive. You will need to wait for a review from somebody with more time, better source equipment and better speakers.
