a slightly smaller transformer helped reduce the cost. The previous
150A Reference set the standard for power amps at $3500:

a punch. Looks fantastic, sounds fantastic. What's not to like?
The Absolute Sound review
The only thing better is the SA Reference
with 300 watts of raw power, and over 100 watts in Class A.
OPERA's
new Grand Callas is
a gorgeous floorstander following in the footsteps of the well reviewed
Callas monitor. Both
have no less than 5 tweeters and the same midrange driver. The Grand
Callas adds some grand bass to the exceptional mids and highs. The
Callas and Grand Callas are as beautiful as they are immensely listenable.
Opera: a rich, warm, engaging Italian sound in hand-crafted Italian
furniture. If you feel your system lacks emotion try an Opera.

your recipe for pleasure be sure to have a listen.

midrange and treble I've heard - without obscuring fine detail...I've
fallen in love with this thing..." $3995 retail. Call
