for the ST2140I've owned many amplifiers including high-end brands such as McIntosh and Conrad Johnson. The B&K ST2140 that I acquired purely by accident actually held up to these big boys in my opinion. It actually bettered some of them in its sonic purity. It is likely the best value in the market. I've used the amp with both B&W 803s and Martin Logans. The ST2140 produces a very deep and wide soundstage. Detail is excellent without being bright like some competitors. I highly recommend it.
Now I am curious to see if bi-amping with two ST2140s will actually give me that leap in sound quality I have been dreaming of.
Product Weakness: there are other amps that will give you more raw power Product Strengths: Natural sound - the music just sounds more beautiful and refined on it. Associated Equipment for this Review:
