torodial  transformer that feeds up to 8 Toshiba output  transistors.  Wina,
Solen capacitors throughout the preamp and main amplification circuits.  The
amplifier produces 95 watts per channel into 8 ohms and doubles it (190

Bass:  The solid state amp extends the bass - considerable kick and slam.   Mids:. The preamp section warms up the mids quite a bit.  
Selection of tubes is critical for achieving correct midrange balance.  See "Tube Righteousness"     
Highs:   Slightly extended.  Pure solid
state amps extend the highs much better.  
Dynamics:  Achieves goal of a dynamic, warm amp.  Air around instruments:  Adequate for
the price point. The selection of tubes is critical here.      
Body and trouble throwing images to the left and the right of speaker.

even try.  Amps at the price point cannot even get close.
