Hello Srajan, I see that Greg over at Virtual inspired you to go after the Topping amps. I applaud you for giving them a whirl because the brand's popularity over at ASR has nearly made them an automatic no-go with serious audiophiles. I appreciate that the perfect amp doesn't exist and your extro paragraph in the B200 review reiterated that point. I couldn't see these on the Voxativ Hagen² either for just a recent example of a speaker you reviewed. That said, how would you rate them against your bigger Kinki amps for example? I understand that you got them for the desktop but I'm sure that you have already tried them in your other systems to have a sense. In which case I'd love to know your thoughts. Best regards, Jamie

I actually haven't. The B200 have usurped my desktop and not left since. I suspect that with their greater low-Ω muscle, the Kinki amps have butcher bass control and are probably even more extended on top which on a premium tweeter might pay dividends. But the Kinki amps wouldn't slot on the low shelf beneath my computer monitor so that's academic. And because I purchased these amps as Joe Private from a retailer for my own use, I reserve the right to not formally review them beyond what I already did. Anyone who wants to know more should do as I did: take a punt and if they don't work out, return them within 30 days. Srajan
