In Reply to: ZEN Se-84C...anyone compared it to other SETs? posted by akhilesh on February 19, 2004 at 11:15:05:
Most 300B amps are a tad slower than the little Zens and don't have the neutrality and detail, either. What they do have is a warm, rich, euphonic tonality that keeps you stuck in the listening chair like glue. (if you like that sort of sound)
I have heard quite a few amps that trumped the Zen on overall sonics, but only one or two in it's price range. Most cost more than my car! I've also heard a few DIYs that were better. Those little Zens are hard to beat for the price, though. I have a friend with a heavily modded Zen that is just simply awesome.
