I lived with the Simaudio i-7 integrated amp and then the P-7 pre and W-7 power amp for about a week each and I really liked them both with my Thiel 2.4s. I decided to go with my current Audio Research electronics but the Simaudio was excellent and I could easily have chosen either the integrated or the separates. They are very resolving, tonally neutral and well balanced, and can deliver quite a wide macro dynamic envelope. Just very solid and very musical SS amps. If your musical tastes lean towards the lush then these are not for you unless you pair them up with lush sounding speakers (like older gen Sonus Faber speakers for example) but if you are seeking a modern, musical and neutral sound, then Simaudio is right up there.
