Are they the "high efficiency" model? I often thought they might make a nice cheap alternative to Snells.

No valve or class a amps in there? That would be my preference.

Late afternoon session yesterday and i found the PM4 a perfect match for the MA16 very lucid and sweet sounding from a range of CD's from Peter Gabriel , Elton John and Crosby Still Nash & Young found a few things that i have never heard they are a bit bass light but with the loudness on soon cured this a fantastic listen i could live with it i am very happy the PM4 is bought for sharing now and owned by both my and my dad.....
Will run for longer in Class A later on but very tricky with a lab doing to walk around between rooms...
Happy Listening - later on will be the Massive Attack and Yello test....
MA's are usually a hit and miss with me but these 16's do it for me....
