To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift – Steve Prefontaine. Chiseled angled elegance. Beautiful exacting build. Minimalist design. Those are the attributes which first strike you when gazing upon the full-sized components from NuForce. The matching preamplifier to their flagship Reference 18 monoblocks reviewed here is a perfect visual counterpart. But external simplicity is deceptive when it comes to NuForce products. The company prides itself on advanced and sophisticated technologies in attractive packages that offer superb value for money.
