"Obzirom na cijenu uredaja sve ‘kritike’ padaju u vodu i zaista, smatramo, da je za zadani novac teško naći bolje pojačalo. U funkcionalnom i zvučnom smislu ovaj uredaj je kompletan pogodak i s velikim zadovoljstvom ga možemo preporučiti našem neimućnom kupcu. Zaista je za audiofile došlo sretno doba."

"When looking at the pricing of this amplifier all possible criticisms are out of the question. We feel for the asking price it is just about impossible to find a better amp. In terms of sound, this component is a total success and we highly recommend it especially for the budget orientated buyer. At last great times have arrived for audiophiles."

Mobil Media (Croatia) September 2006

"Maar ook de afwerking en de kwaliteit van de toegepaste componenten deden een hoger prijsniveau vermoeden. Kortom, voorop staat het plezierige klankbeeld, maar de gunstige prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding is mooi meegenomen."

"... the finish and the quality of the applied components made me suspect a higher price level. In short, the sound imaging produced is most pleasurable but the favourable price/quality ratio is the real advantage."

Luister (Netherlands) July/August 2006, reviewed with the 640C V2

"Das geht unter die Haut, spricht an und macht riesig Spaβ. Solche Emotionen können Billig-Anlagen nie im Leben vermitteln – selber Schuld, wer sich mit weniger zufrieden gibt."

"The music that this system produces goes under the skin - it thrills you. You won't get this kind of emotion with lesser hi-fi systems."

"We haven't heard anything quite like it at this price before, and perhaps never will again. If you're after a mind-blowing all-rounder, it has to be the 640A V2.0"
