"Both MastersounD's 220
S.E. DueVenti and 230 S.E. DueTrenta are solid heavies of
their breed. The term value applies squarely to these 'smaller'
models of the Italian manufacturer. 2 x 30 watts in the DueTrenta
produce more power of course but the 20 watts per side of
the DueVenti are far from petite. Were it my decision, I'd
reach for the lower-priced EL34-fitted DueVenti which for
my tastes offers more resolution, more extension in the frequency
extremes, a better sorted soundstage and, well - a higher
live factor. Others will prefer the fuller, more voluptuous
DueTrenta over the more highly present smallest MastersounD,
hence a personal audition is called for."

"It's among the highest-fidelity SET amps I've used..."
"The build quallity is superb,
and strikingly reminiscent of the Lamm ML2.1 monoblock ($29,900
/ pair)"
