Well done guys!

An excellent review from Tarun! Just amazing. I hope it brings you much business.

P.S. I agree about the logo placement - audiophiles are such fussy sods!

Very nice review and NVA certainly deserves the praise. Was surprise by the bass comments as this was not something I experienced even with an AP10 which is even lower power and using the entry level NVA speaker cables. Again the Sound Cord might be bettered but at what cost?

You've been intelligent about component matching. I wish we could bottle that...

I assure you it was pure luck.

The AP10 was used with an early pair of Q Acoustics bookshelves and the A40s with some DIY Fostex based horn and used LS5 but that’s a step or so up the ladder as they say.
