What the critics say...
" The Marquis is as fast as the devil, creates a beautiful aura without any indication of overshoot, has glow and spirit, temperament and cunning. It has fire. In comparison to the Marquis, most so called super-preamps sound waste, flabby, boring."
Ulrich Michalik, HI FI EXCLUSIV , Germany.
" The Marquis Preamp imposes far less of itself on the signal, handling its chores with near invisibility".
Ken Kessler, HI FI NEWS & RECORD REVIEW, England.
" The Marquis constitutes in our opinion, pure gold and is already the reference point in this price category and will not be superceded in a hurry".
Jean Hiraga/Patrick Vercher LA NOUVELLE REVUE DU SON, France.
" The conclusion: the sensation is perfect. A power Amplifier for 9000DM can reach without problems to the position of ABSOLUTE SPITZENCLASSE and is immediately equal to competitors that are three times more expensive".
Alexander Strobel, STEREOPLAY, Germany.The performance of various frequencies can, in two words, be described as extremely homogeneous. You will not be able to tell them apart in well recorded material, with able three way transducers. Such a composure exists! The bass is very quick with top grade body and attack, not slowing at all. The mids are very descriptive, with very good detail and purity, soft and extremely sweet. The highs are delicate, with excellent body and special plasticity. The stereo image has excellent dimensions and very good "black" character, and by saying this, I mean the "black" space that separates the instruments and makes them sound as separate entities, with lifelike positioning in space, in well recorded material."
