Whoever had the pleasure of seeing soprano vocalist Anna Netrebko live knows that your heart and soul feel equally fine with her performance. An experience which cannot nearly be described with pure listening and which cannot be reproduced by a high-end chain either, no matter how good it may be. Yet this statement is just something the team from Soulution Audio does not find acceptable. 



From the beginning the team around Cyrill Hammer has – in all modesty – made it their business to offer a quality of sound and experience on a previously unmatched level. Many reviews from all over the world bear witness that with their components produced so far the Swiss have easily reached this goal. Is there still room for improvement? Can a small manufacture once more raise the bar?



At least according to the preliminary information, the 700 mono power amplifiers are supposed to further upgrade the top position already defined by Soulution Audio. Obviously not an easy task! And the hard way to the top begins with stark figures: 73,000 euros per pair and each amplifier weighing almost a quintal. Never before has the i-fidelity.net listening room seen such bolides.

Before the pleasure …

Placing the huge mono blocks in the listening room is a strength-sapping job, even for three people. However, as soon as the the 700s are unpacked, they can be easily aligned by one person thanks to their carpet gliders. Despite the opulent dimensions these mono blocks have an aesthetic appearance. The front panel has no more than three knobs and you’ll be looking in vain for any housing screws – this is true high-class design. No wonder, because a Swiss professional had a hand in here.
