Vegas shows, perhaps four. But, as too often
happens, a product may be playing but it is
not the focus of the room, and it’s impossible
to get more than a casual impression.
Mastersound? It looks nice, but…
Now that I’ve heard the Evolution 845
under the best possible conditions — in
UHF’s Omega reference system — I’m
wowed. I just hadn’t realized how good it
was. This is not an amplifier whose underlying
technology impresses you, or even calls
attention to itself. You might look at the
available power when you’re in the store, but
you’ll forget about it once you get it home
and the first recording comes on.
Is it an “impressive” amplifier? I’m wary
of systems that are too impressive, because
I want the music to impress me, not the
hardware. That’s exactly what the Evolution
845 gets right.
It’s not cheap, but it has its place in the
very best systems.
