They reveal so much about each recording that it’s almost uncanny, with depth of image an obvious strength alongside the degree of finessing that went into the production. I love the way that these amps can deliver detail with so much ease.

They also image very nicely, delivering precise definition of instruments and voices in space with not the slightest hint of grain or edginess.

It’s also highly transparent to fine detail thanks to very low distortion, I heard things with these amps that my usual and also apparently revealing amplifier failed to unearth. The lack of distortion or noise means that tone is particularly pure.

“A better combination than our reference amps”

“I’m particularly drawn to listening to piano and strings on this combo. Female vocals too have a wonderful appeal with everything sounding just right – you know that indefinable thing you get when something just gels and sounds right.”

“What you have again is that sense of rightness, speed and dynamic ability with them dealing with dynamics in a pleasing and exciting way.”

“Soundstaging on all the speakers we used with the CAAS pre/amps was thoroughly rock solid with instruments and sounds laid out in front of me front to back, side to side and top to bottom and instruments staying where they were placed on mixdown.”

Elysian Pre-amp & Elysian 100 Mono-blocks

HiFi +

“The CAAS trio is one of the most musically engaging and resolving amplification systems around. As a combo it is unusually even handed, revealing oodles of detail in a highly coherent fashion.”

“Excellent separation of voices and instruments, which makes it easy to hear right into the production, while an apparent absence of overhang or ringing means that timing is nigh on perfect.”

“These CAAS amps can really punch too, but do so with so little effort that it’s not fatiguing. Instead, the sound is tactile and shapely; acoustic bass notes in particular have a roundness and depth to them that’s beautiful.”

“You can also tell that this is a very quiet amplifier by the degree of resolution they provide for quieter, low level sounds. This is why you can hear so much, it’s not covering up the fine details with the noise floor. What you get is the reverberant and textural detail that is masked with lesser amplifiers.”
