"My initial impression is ... WOW !!! Can the Thors really sound this good out of the box? While I did expect and heard some raspiness and sibilance in the beginning, this was gone after about an hour as the amps started warming up. In my opinion, all the reviews of the Thor that I have read were spot on. The bass, heft, control, transparency, soundstage and space were as described by the reviewers. I even heard for the first time the extended last note of the piano of jazz trio recordings linger just a bit longer (where previously I thought that last 3 seconds of the track was silent). Can’t wait for full break in as I know I’ll be even happier then."
