"The XCD-50 had a lower noise floor than my reference combo with a much more refined sound and able to handle complex music passages with ease. The sound stage had great depth, the width and height was about the same as my reference but the depth was much better with instruments being more defined and lifelike. All in all the XCD-50 was the hands down winner making me rethink my source ($$$)."
"The bass was tight, the amp grabbed hold of my woofers and would not let go. The highs were smooth and extended with no grain; man this amp is fast."
