Ordered my new synergy 450 today.

I should get it in about a month. It's more power than I'll ever need but like Big Daddy Don Garlits once said, "There's no substitute for displacement."

Cool Doc. One of these days may upgrade my FV Ultra 500. Have no doubt you'll really enjoy it. Lots of low end torque for pullin' those blues, and the hi HP for rockin' & rollin' as well. Let us know your impressions when it's up & running.  :thumb:

You're in for a treat. My Synergy Control Amp continues to amaze me every time I listen to it.  A big improvement on the Insight series, which great in its own right. There's more authourity, but at the same time more smoothness and "ease"  to the sound. I love it.

Congrats. :D

  I'm running an AVA Insight 440H, and can only imagine the improvements you'll hear with the Synergy 450.

Happy listening,

and PS- send us your impressions.

It arrived yesterday! I got a chance to listen to a couple of CDs and two Lps. All I can say is I'm gob smacked. Everything said about this amp is true. Bass was the first thing I noticed, much more powerful and articulate. Male voices in particular seem to be more real. There's more separation between instruments and vocalist in the sound stage. I can't wait to sit down and listen to it more. I'll be putting on my Bella Fleck and the Flecktones "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo" to really test the bass handling of this amp.

What amp were you using before you were "gob smacked"?

Cool, that's a comparison I can relate to as I have the +250 here in my office system. Thanks Doc.  8)

I upgraded my OmegaStar 440 to a Synergy 450.
Sent it to AVA in September and received it back last week.
Wow!
It is fed by a Transcendence 8.
The detail is incredible. Soundstage is awesome, musicality tops.

Thank you Frank for making high quality products at down to earth prices with upgrading options.

Yes it is.
It is getting better too.
Playing vinyl as I type.
Doesn't get much better than this.
