VOLTAiR:

“One of the standout technologies of SPL is VOLTAiR – what is known as 120V technology. All of these devices run at +/- 60 volts and that’s unique. That’s usually four times as much as most manufactures run their power rails and their devices, so these have the ability to have a tremendous amount of headroom and a tremendous dynamic range.”

Director Mk2:

“It’s a very well constructed unit. It is very flexible and excellent sounding. It is absolutely crystal clear and clean – very very good sounding unit and very neutral to the source. It also has an exceptionally well-built DAC inside.”

Performer s900:

“The Performer s900 is the newest amp in the SPL lineup, it fits into the middle of their line. When we talk about power, you’ll understand why that’s kind of ‘wow’. It is a real beautiful stereo amplifier. This thing has some current capability, it’s unbelievable. This thing is very punchy, very ballsy – a really powerful piece. It uses SPLs proprietary VOLTAiR technology, so it has a tremendous amount of dynamic power and a tremendous amount of dynamic ability, because you never run this thing out of juice. It doesn’t matter what kind of speaker you hook up to it, it’ll drive it without any question, without any problem and it’ll do it with absolute cleanliness and super good sound.”

Sound:

“Everything sounds natural. All the instruments sound like what I think they should sound like.This thing went from a whisper to a shout instantly. Just beautiful – I never felt like there was any lag.”

“This just did an excellent job of rendering everything. High frequencies are very well represented.
The low bass was very articulate, very well defined. There was never any loss of detail or sense of a lack of any energy in the bass response. Absolutely fast-paced, beautiful, articulate, well-defined, lots of texture, lots of excellent tone.”

Conclusion:

“So how did this stack equit itself? Remarkably well, amazing! This is high-end audio file grade equipment – no question about it.”
