"The
Sapphire quite simply sounds bigger and more powerful, with
more authority than it has any right to.
Rated at 40 Watts it’s an object lesson in the irrelevance
of measurement to hi-fi. The glory of the
Hovland amplifier is not how much power it’s got, but
how it delivers what it has. The speed and texture of
bass notes is remarkable, mirroring the easy grace, texture
and naturalness of the mid-range.
Music on the Hovlands breathes."

"Judging
by the many nights I happily spent listening to— luxuriating in—the Sapphire’s sound into the
wee hours, I’d say this was one of the best-balanced
amplifiers I’ve heard."
