The evening before listening I'd attended a live jazz gig with a quintet fronted by trumpet and sax, and the immediate impression the ARNE gave was of the same kind of live presence and immediacy, plus that sense of listening to real music. There's nothing artificial or 'show your working' going on here, and neither is there any impression of the stereotypical valve amp traits of the music being warmed over or glossed, nor any slightly noisy background to limit dynamics. Instead, the ARNE just delivers the music, purely and convincingly

“The ARNE integrated quickly revealed its capabilities and, in particular, how closely related it is to the LARS mono-blocks.”

“On small group jazz, classical or acoustic pop, the ARNE is a remarkably musical and musically satisfying performer.”

“One area in which the ARNE really excels is vocal articulation and communication with the natural tonality and diction of familiar voices, whether singing or speaking, being quite remarkable.”

“ARNE holds everything together and in the right place, his wonderful natural tonality is beyond any doubt. But also his timing, his ability to transmit music with the greatest inner tension and to act with absolute confidence in every pitch.”

“As live as if you were there.”

“A no holds barred, rousing, intoxicating almost magical experience.”
