Perfect for movies and 5 channel music.
I bought the Galion Discovery Monoblock for my B&W center channel because I knew my center was weak, muddy and I could not hear the dialogue even at high volume so I had been looking for a good amp and I am so glad I found the Galion Discovery Monoblock. For those who into the hometheater you know how hard and how expensive to have a decent sound system for movies, I already tried three amplifiers and still not happy. My system is 11.2 channels, Denon AVR -4700, Musician Knight for front L&R speakers, B&W center and the rest are satellite Energy Take speakers. The left and right speakers are driven by the Classe CA-300 and all the satellite speakers connected directly to the Denon AVR and of course the center is connected to the Discovery. First video I watched was Khatia Buniatishvili Beethoven piano concerto no. 1 and my goodness, it sounds incredible, the music is so inviting, detailed, clear and lively. I can hear and feel the vibrations from the cellos, I was shocked of how good the Discovery is. Ladies and gentlemen, this is truyly a hi-end performance monoblock, it has a lot of bass, a lot of power and details. When setting up center speaker level, I only adjust the level to -8.0 dB to achieve 75db at reference level. For the left and right speakers driven by 300W amplifier, I have to adjust them to -2.0 dB. For movies, I rewatched many of my favorite movies like 300, the Shallows, Bad Boys for life, Kill Bill vol. 1, the Matrix, Mission Imposible, the sound of the music.....and I can't believe how good they sound. Watching the fight in Kill Bill chapter 5 Showdown at the House of Blue Leaves, I feel I am in the fight, it's so realistic. For scary movies fans you will be startled and jump off your seat because the sound, yes I can hear the pin drop. I also listened 5.1 and Atmos music for a few hours and it sounds great. I am really happy with the Discovery and I plan to buy a pair of Discovery monoblocks for my left and right speakers to replace my Classe CA-300. I highly recommended the Discovery monoblocks for those who want to upgrade your system. Thomas, I can't thank you enough for bringing this hi-end product to us, it beats many amps out there that cost 3 times the price.
