The EC250R is the most recent power amp from ElectroCompaniet in Norway... and is based on their groundbreaking amplifier from 1975... 

The 250 R is essentially two 180AW mono-block amplifiers in one chassis.

There are not many reviews of the newer 250R but it shares the same Organic / Tube like liquidity of its bigger brother the NEMO used in some of the Worlds top Recording Studios.

SOME NOTABLE REVIEW EXTRACTS: [ NEMO ]

"A Manly Man Of An Amplifier" - Up with the best valve jobs I've ever heard ....
grain-less liquidity that no other solid-state amplifier I've heard can match. -  I would pick them over every other solid-state amplifier I've heard.


SOME NOTABLE REVIEW EXTRACTS: [ AW180 ] - TAS Anthony H. Cordesman




The AW180 is “tube-like.”
It provides a very natural timbre and
exceptionally realistic upper bass and lower mid-range 

It does an equally excellent job of handling the upper
registers of the violin, clarinet, flute, and female voice without exaggeration or any trace
of hardness that is not clearly on the recording. 

The AW180 does an excellent job of reproducing all acoustic instruments

it really gets the sound of solo cello, lower woodwinds, and piano right.... You will truly appreciate just how accurate the AW180 is with French horn  It is a Musicians Amplifier.

If what you want is musical realism, rather than drama or hi-fi effects Electrocompaniet delivers some of the best solid-state sound available.

======== Here is info from the Manufacturers website ===================

The Electrocompaniet AW250R power amplifier is known for its uncolored and excellent reproduction qualities. From the first note of any familiar recording, you will be captivated by the AW250R and by the musical enjoyment it will give you.

The AW250R incorporates such refined features as: FTT (Floating Transformer Technology) power supply, capable of delivering twice the current of conventional power supply designs, as well as first class overall circuit design and state-of-the-art components. 

The AW250R features a balanced link to additional power amplifier(s). Compared to more expensive High-End power amplifiers, with lesser performance, you will truly cherish the AW250R. The Electrocompaniet AW250R features a balanced link to additional amplifier(s) for bi-amping. It can easily be used in bridged mode, delivering up to four times the power.

==== ADDENDUM April 20 2018 =====

While I was exhibiting at Axpona, my customer decided to explore some of top Amplifers Vs his reference EC 250R.... 

PASS Labs 250.8 
Prima Luna HP  
Bel Canto 600 Monoblocks - 2017 TAS Product of the Year

Long story short he decided he could not give up the naturalness of the ElectroCompaniet amplifier and decided to upgrade to two 180 AW Monoblocks !!
