Audio Mirror 45 thoughts?


I was wondering if anyone would be willing to provide a mini review of their Audio Mirror 45's. Reliability? Power tube life? Most importantly, SQ. I am interested in pairing these with a pair of Reference 3a De Capo's.

Interesting amps but not a lot on the web about them. Thanks in advance for any help.

Have had mine for couple years. Awesome sound quality - clean, organic, meaty, dimensional, etc. Vocals, piano, guitar - all awesome and natural sounding. Good bass, best mids, excellent highs.
Terrific reliability and great support from Vlad. Tubes last a long time.
Requires some space as the power tubes get HOT!, so not for stuffing into a cabinet. Mine are very powerful at 45 watts, so no problem at all driving your speakers (assumed since no prob driving my less efficient ones at 87 db).
Meant to also say I listen to variety of music: jazz, blues, rock, opera, classical, vocals, etc. (all but rap). And all sound great with the AMs.
You're welcome. I just checked to see how long I've actually owned the AMs ... FIVE years, not "a couple". Ugh! At my age, everything seems like it was just "a couple" of years ago.
I pulled the trigger on a used pair with auto-bias. They arrived this morning. Initial impressions are QUITE positive. I'll provide a more detailed report tomorrow after I spend time with them tonight.
