But 25 watts per channel dramatically changes the game, and is more than enough to power the Verity Audio Amadis speakers (93db/1-watt sensitivity) to a sufficiently high level on music of any kind. Unless you have extraordinarily efficient speakers, a few watts per channel just won’t rock your world. Think of the Torii as an SET with benefits-namely, increased bass control and dynamics. I’ve always had a major affection for such amplifiers, which possess many characteristics of great single-ended triode amplifiers and yet, have more power and control than an SET can muster. While I hate to use the “b” word (best), the Torii is my favorite power amplifier based on the EL-34 tube, and that’s saying a lot. The Decware Zen Torii Mk.3 is a damn good amplifier. It also means you better make a damn good product, or you’re going to go broke servicing warranty repairs. Any way you look at it, offering long warranties takes guts. ![]() Decware guarantees its amplifiers for life. Bryston guarantees its amplifiers for 30 years. Hyundai covers its engines for 100,000 miles.
