The combination is warm and comes close to what I heard using the same equipment with a pair of Aleph 2s. I paid $450 for the EX-442 on Audiogon, and I consider the amp to be an excellent one at that price. I also found that B&K's repair facility has fair prices. They repaired the amp for a nominal charge and shipped it back to me in a new box and with new packing materials.

Someone recently posted a link under this Amps & Preamps forum to a .pdf file on the B&K amps. If you can find the post, you'll be able to see all the older models. The B&K website may have some information too.

If you scroll back 2-3 pages you'll see it.
