Michel Aublanc has posted a review of the Atoll HD 120 preamplifier-DAC (€750) and MA 100 power amplifier (€400) at Stereo Times. His conclusions:
“Given the very affordable cost of this amp-preamp pair, you might be tempted to go with speakers in the same price range. However, don’t let their size and price tag fool you. The quality of these electronics is such that they deserve to be associated with a nice set of speakers. Hooking up two MA100s in mono mode to an HD120 offers a great solution to those who need to power more demanding or lower sensitivity speakers. As a result, this pair would make a great starting point if you are looking to put together a small, quality system. You may even ask yourself why you would need to spend more, since the ratio of performance to musicality and cost is so attractive.”
