Testbericht in Auszügen...

James helped pioneer the high-quality, high-powered transistor amp some 30 years ago. ... i used designs of his like the Dynaco 400, his original Sumo amplifiers, and the original Ampzilla. All were designs that moved the state of the art forward at a time when most solid-state amplifiers had serious sonic problems.



It may not have changed my psyche or brought me a sonic revolution, but it is an exceptionally good and very musical amplifier. 

...
Moreover, the Ampzilla performs equally well with highly efficient speakers; unlike some transistor power amplifiers, its dynamics are as clean at low power levels with simple loads as at high power levels with difficult loads.


...
The Ampzilla 2000 did an outstanding job of this with my favorite Telarc and Reference Recording"s bass spectaculars, with the demanding climax of Saint Saens" Third Symphony and with the more complex passages of Mahler"s Eigth. My son informs me Ampzilla 2000 does equally well with electronic synthesizer and bass guitar, his music.

...
I found the Ampzilla 2000 to have a slightly warmer timbre that i felt was a bit more musically realistic than the timbre of the Pass X 600...


The Ampzilla 2000 did, however, produce excellent resolution of percussion (including the usual Telarc and Reference Recording bass drum sounds) and very good articulation of the bass from complex organ music.

...I was impressed with the compatibility of the Ampzilla 2000. It easily drove any speaker i used it with...
... it also worked fine with all of my speaker cables as well.
