Extract from full review:
…”The ‘SE’ label doesn’t do justice to the improvements NuPrime have made; their own site page goes into quite a lot of depth on the changes between the SE version and the original AMG STA.”…
…”Let me be clear; the new AMG STA Special Edition is the best amplifier of any brand I have enjoyed listening to. Everything that made the original STA so good – the ease and flow of music, the detail and low noise floor is all still there. The high sensitivity, world leading switching speeds and ability to be bridged for full mono operation are maintained. It even runs cooler. There’s serious power on board – 130 watts per channel into 8 Ohms or 300 per channel when bridged.”
…”What’s greatly improved are resolution, sound staging and the overall immediacy and pace of music.”…
…”The new AMG STA SE adds a ‘growl’ and percussive drive that I didn’t know I was missing until now.”…
…”While there has been a rise in what are called ‘super integrated’ amplifiers where pre and power are put together in a single box, there is inevitably compromise and more often than not, the companies producing them are wedded to historically conventional power amplifier sections which hold the overall design back.”…
