EMM Mono Blocks MTRX V2 - 1000 watt mono blocks have been in my system now for around 2 months. I have been listening to them and have over the time made some system adjustments and a couple of small changes.
They are nicely made and run cold, and I do mean cold. Like many products i have listened too I think that when you get something new and in this case really good IMO that it takes times to truly integrate it fully in your system. When I changed at first I had mixed feelings especially since IMO SS amps really take some time once plugged in and turned on to settle. I felt this way about Krells , CH Precisions, Esoterics, DAG's . Parasounds, etc.
This usually takes around 72 -96 hours approx. These devices tend to grow over time once they hit the wall and the music going threw them.
Over the last 5 or six weeks I have been listening to them much more critically and seriously. I have been trying to see how much I can get from them. They have tremendous drive and power and an incredible sense or rhythm and pace. The bass in the system is spectacular and hard to critic in any way . I have been making some small speaker placement movements and some rake angle adjustments recently because I feel the neutrality of these amps lets me hear clearly everything that I do with ease.
I don't believe that anything is perfect and if one listens to enough good stuff you can make yourself nuts. This does this and that does that and I find this very true of power amps, probably more so than any other components that I use.
I was without a big SS amp in my place for a while and its fun to have one again. I think the EMM stereo amp , which I also have is a bit softer sounding and perhaps a little more bottom up in sound than the monos which are , and should be , a bit better at everything, which they are.
Ive been playing with the small adjustments this week on the Wadax and things like subtle rake angle movements on the Noblesse and I am having fun because the responses are positive and really easy to recognize. I think I am very close to how far I can push but we shall see, as long as they are here I would like to find the limits.
