On the online platform Stereo Times you can find a review about our stereo power amplifier SPL Performer s900. Reviewer Terry London had already tested the Performer s800, m1000 and Performer s1200 which he purchased and kept as his solid-state reference amplifier. Will the Performer s900 also convince him? You can find the complete review online – here we provide a short summary.
“I mainly learned about SPL from reading European forums and chat rooms filled with glowing comments and Internet reviewers claiming that SPL gear easily competed or bested in performance and build quality, some of the most expensive gear from other highly regarded European-based manufacturers for significantly less money. This led me to review the SPL Performer s900 amplifier.”
“SPL had achieved its design goals of bringing the musical signature of the outstanding Performer s1200 amplifier to the more petite, more affordable Performer s900.”
“The same descriptors I used in describing the Performer s1200 sonic characteristics apply entirely to the new Performer s900 amplifier. Beautiful natural timbres and tonality are delivered in an effortless, grain-less, silky, smooth, slightly warm mid-band presentation.”
“The three-dimensional imaging has been kept at the same level as the Performer s1200 in the Performer s900.”
“A non-existent noise floor allows micro-details to be more easily noticed, and the ambient cues of the original recording space fill out the space, making the sound staging more open and natural.”
“A much more open, airy, refined top-end that adds a natural ‘sparkle’ that blends perfectly with the upper mid-range vocals.”
“The Performer s900 has the identical extended, powerful, and controlled bottom-end foundation as its more prominent Performer s1200 sibling.”
“If I did not already own the SPL Performer s1200 amplifier, I would find it very easy to purchase the SPL Performer s900 because of the above-stated reasons.”
“Congratulations to SPL for designing the Performer s900 amplifier, which delivers reference level performance, exquisite German build quality, and a price that makes the Performer s900 accessible to many more music lovers for their systems.”
