The
Mastersound 300 B SE ($3,400) sandwiched
between their all-out Reference 845
monoblocks (about $15000 pair). Tube
heaven? You got that right. Using all
Viac tube devices, the 300B’s a
20-watt single ended, Class A, stereo
amplifier that possesses as charming a
sound as ever I’ve heard. On the other
hand, you’ve got the best of the best
in their 845 Reference, which at 40
watts per, isn’t any pushover either.
The Omicron room setup was so rare a
treat and so nice sounding that, I found
myself daydreaming and spending way too
much time here. I visited a similar room
in Singapore and now felt even more
confident about how good these
components sound.
