I sure will enjoy it for many years.
Based on the limited time I had with the B-1 so far, It is the best amp I listen to so far. I will eventually set it up with a proper source and room layout at some point in the future, but these are my initial thought when comparing it to my other amps on duty:
My MX has balls to the walls, pushes well over 300W and its sound is crystal clear at any listning levels. The B-2 is sweet as a peach and a pleaseure to listen to, nice and smooth musical sound. .....
Neither of the two can do what the B-1 can with a set of speakers. I specifically used it to play a fast, bass heavy mix straight from my phone. No pre, no tone control, nothing. That usually sounds awful on my other amps including the B-2 which is very forgiving. The B-1 sounds fantastic because of the ease of control it has over the speakers at any frequency. I first used it on my crappy and sacrificial test speakers, then hooked it up to a set of NS-1000. Who says the B-1 is shy on highs, needs to have their B-1 restored. Who says that the NS-1000Ms are bass shy, they need to hook them up to a B-1.
I am curious how the B-1 will fair against my BX-1s and against my TA-N7. Can't wait for the day I will have the time to do a proper listning of all of them...hopefully fed from a GT-2000 or a PX-1, via one of the C-1s
