ADS Atelier A2 Amp Questions?

[cary]

Does anyone use the ADS A2 amplifier? How does it sound? For solid state I use a Harmon Kardon 330C and 430. I have always liked the design of the Atelier series.

I can't compare it to your HKs, but i can tell you from my experience that the A2 can sound a bit lean.

If you're using it with a speaker with great deep bass response or a powered sub though it shouldn't matter too much.

+1 on the design comment. I think this series is among the best looking gear ever built

Agreed with the lean sound. I forget if mine had a loudness button or not, but without it, I personally thought it was a bit bass-shy.

The face of it and the overall design is great...very nice feel as well, IMO.
