I somewhat reluctantly bought an R2R-11 to pair with Focal Elex. It most definitely leans warm for a SS amp, in that the harsh treble that I didn’t like with other amps is tamed without sacrificing anything else. Imaging, dynamics and soundstage are quite good with it, but it still doesn’t have the life. Definitely fitting if it’s “oil painting” description. The purist (ASR fanboy) will scream about its tube-like distortion and slightly raised noise floor (completely inaudible) but it is still quite a nice listen with Elex. It’d be cool to see a Massdrop offering of Audio-gd products.
