The Mastersound Compact 845 is a hard act to follow, this is for sure! If you have already had an S6, and thought it was out of context with the system, this is entirely possible regarding the older S6. The new S6 is completely different from the ground up. Mastersound also makes the new Piccolo, which is 8 watts. I have always feared flea powered amplifiers, yet some folks say the first watt is the best watt. Don't really know where I sit on that panel as I have never owned one. Another suggestion that seems to get exceptional praise are the Shindo products. I am building my own OTL's presently which for the money, pretty much embarrass everything I have heard to date at any audio-aushow I have ever been in attendance at. Pass the solder and paste please ! LOL.
