| | Stereophile: T+A V10 integrated amplifier |
 | | The V10 sounded somewhat brash compared to, say, the Pass Labs X-160 monoblocks, which I reviewed last November, in part due to a tonal spike right where vocal sibilants reside. |
 | | Nor should it surprise that the 80Wpc V10 couldn't deliver dynamics and punch on the same scale as the big kWs, though the T+A's dynamics were well-scaled and hardly what I'd call "meek." Because of the V10's impressively low subjective noise floor, its resolution of microdynamics and low-level detail were outstanding. |
 | | Overall, the T+A V10 combined the midband liquidity of a good tube amp with the low noise, low distortion, and extension at the frequency extremes of a good solid-state modela neat trick. |
