Channel Islands Audio E•200S Power Amplifier

John Marks has posted a review of the Channel Islands Audio E•200S power amplifier ($2500) at Stereophile. His conclusions:

“A product listed in Class A of Stereophile’s “Recommended Components” has the “est attainable sound for a component of its kind, almost without practical considerations.” Channel Islands Audio’s E•200S amplifier is not quite that good, but its sound quality puts it well above the line that separates Class C from Class B: “the next best thing to the very best sound reproduction.” The E•200S also deserves our “$$$” mark of distinction, for a product that performs “much better than might be expected from its price.” ”
