You describe the Clayton Audio relationship very well; these are the amps you keep. I've loved them with very fluid preamps (Audible Illusions) and I love them even more with clean and detailed preamps (Placette Audio). They were fantastic at 70 watts and they're just as good, just bigger, at 100 watts. The S40/S50 is the exact same sound; I've always wondered if the M70/M100 weren't just S40/S50s bridged.<br /><br />I really don't care if most folks have never heard of this company, or if the guys in the stereo shops sneer at it because it isn't SET or it isn't 10000 watts or "big name". Without actually living with Clayton gear day after day they just don't know what it's about.<br /><br />Maybe we should invoke the late great Charlton Heston and that "from my cold dead hands" line of his he used with the NRA.drew458http://www.barking-moonbat.comnoreply@blogger.com
