“YOU DON’T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE Norse amplifier for long to quickly discover that it produces exactly the same sound for which the Bladelius brand is renowned. That is, warm, dense, low, and soft. Yes, it’s a sound that fills the space in a dense way, without any gaps or wear and tear, where the walls “behind” the performers would show through.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT THE SOUND of the Norse Audio amplifier is truly detailed. I seems to me that it may even be more so than with Bladelius amplifiers. I repeat, it is a very similar sound signature. However, Mike’s large amplifiers have more “air” in reserve, which is not immediately apparent, but still noticeable. This is evident in the lower volume of the vocals and in the slightly narrower soundstage. And that’s normal, because there is a huge difference in price. But it is precisely thanks to this slight shift that the tested power amplifier shows more detail.”
