The X-T100 is based around exactly the same concepts as used in our super-integrated series (Nu-Vista M3, Tri-Vista 300, kW500 and kW550). Not surprisingly, even though it has much less power, the sound quality is almost indistinguishable from its illustrious siblings. The X-T100 is true budget esoterica. Pair it with the right sort of loudspeakers and you really can get a true high end sound. It's not surprising really because all the concepts behind the X-T100 and the circuitry employed are exactly the same as on our most expensive amplifiers. This puppy has to be heard to be believed.
