Dartzeel CTH-8550

I'm wondering if there are fox out there with this amplifier. I recently purchased this new integrated Dartzeel CTH-8550 (could not afford the separates). From the first minute this amplifier was connected to my Avalon Indra the sound was nothing short of stunning. This amplifier, has the same magic of the separates, as it is really sounds like nothing. It is the most natural sounding amplifier I've ever owned, and I've owned many including Pass 350.5, MBL 9008, Boulder 2000s, Lamm and others.
What is your experience?

Thanks,

Roy

Add YG Carmel to the list of speakers that work well with the Close To Heaven 8550. :)

Hi Rossman,

I'm disappointing also listening the 108/18 from Dartzeel with several loudspeakers with an ease load. The sound is highly colored and slow in the transients. You can hear easily its limits when playing some big orchestra!
