If anyone is looking for a moderately priced, but good pre-amp and power amp then I would suggest these two. For about a year now I have had the pre-amp and amp, and about 9 months ago I acquired a second amp. With two amps in mono mode, one for each speaker, I have been very happy with the sound. As a side note, this month's absolute sound rates the 840W as one of the top 18 bargins in high-end audio, along with the 840C CD player.
Today I received an email from AudioReview, and they review the 840E and 840W. The reviewer particulary loves the amp when in bridged mono mode, as do I.
Anyway, if anyone is interested here is the review. Even if you are not interested in the products you might like the review. I know I enjoy reading the reviews in the 4 audio and video magazines I receive each month.
