    Since my Art Audio Quintet came into my hands it has absolutely beguiled me with its qualities and it will have to be prised from my cold dead hands! It has had a few owners on the Wam & has had quite a bit of upgrading along the way & clearly shows every single upgrade I have made to other areas of my system, so I am sure I haven't even heard the best of it yet.

    I've been on a bit of an amp swapping binge of late. Now using this. Marmite looks, but sounds fab with some great features. This will probably stay for a while.

    It is indeed a good looking thing Simon. Had a listen to the A21 & A21 SE during the demo I had, bought the A21 as I just thought it was just a bit more musical sounding. Nice speakers you have too.

    Bit smoother as it's a bright room , the arcam I have is smoother , not so detailed or powerful as the sudden. But very musical

    Looks lovely Simon.

    Even though I’ve never heard any I’ve a bit of a soft spot for McIntosh amps, they’re manly!
