Boulder monoblocks


I am very interested in the Boulder monoblocks which look very impressive and have very impressive specifications. However, there are only a few serious reviews published on these amps and for $55,000 there are many options. Essentially, for me the most important quality of an amplifier is its bass performance, I like bass that is ultra fast, tight, controlled, and with lots of slam. Another amplifier I am considering are the giant Mark Levinson No. 33 Reference monoblocks. I heard them at a local showroom and thoght that it sounded amazing. I am wondering how it compares to the Boulder monoblocks. Anyone who has had experience with the Boulder monoblocks I would appreciate your comments. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm the very happy owner of a Boulder 2060 stereo amp. i have it mated with the new ARC REF# preamp. They are driving Dynaudio temptations, which are surprisingly power-hungry. i find the combination to be very satisfying. Vocals, bass it's all seamlessly integrated and very natural sounding. The system isn't boomy at all. I do use a REL Studio 3 sub, but that is due to the limitations of the speakers , not the amps.
FWIW, I've gone through Rowland 9Ti's, Pass 600's and Krell 750 MCX' monos, before settling on the Boulder.
