Currently I own audia fright strumento 1 and 2 strumento #4 , it drove my focal Stella utopia em Evo to it optimum. Anyway you want them to perform it won't let you down. Great value and great products.

Why are they are hand soldering SMD components? Sure, I do this for my DIY gear, but for a professional outfit, they can handle that more precisely and reliably using solder stencil machines and reflow ovens.

They are a successful audio electronics manufacturer with incredible sounding gear. I’m pretty sure they know what they’re doing. Very highly reliable and great sounding. Have a listen
