for the A-60



i have read the review of the n.e.w. a60 and i don't agree with it. i have had 3 n.e.w. products (p3 preamp, a20.1 & dc-66), although i don't own the a60 i have extensively listened to this amplifier.

the only way to obtain this amp is second hand, buy one if you have the opportunity. this is a class a amplifier and it has plenty of power to drive your speakers, does control bass well, the midrange and top end sound great. i would classify this amp as sounding warm.


Product Weakness: takes about one hour to warm up
Product Strengths: warm sounding amp, plenty of power to drive low efficiency speakers
