Positive Feedback Online’s Writers’ Choice Awards – 2008
“The Grant Fidelity amp A-348, used in a huge living room with both the Michael Greens and the Windjammers, was a surprise. No sidewalls within “miles,” the system I set up for my month long recovery from a knee replacement, presented a wonderfully believable soundstage with surprisingly deep bass and crystaline highs. The midrange was gorgeous, female voices were presented well. So well, I shook Ella Fitgerald’s hand and thanked her for her performance. The idea of two chassis in one made (I hate to say this) solid state silence and those big tubes looked so cool! People who came to see how I was doing after the operation were shocked by the great sound, commenting on how “real” everything sounded…” Read full review here: By Mike Peshkin at Positive Feedback Online
