About the only negative thing we had heard about the 4100 was that the original cabinet looked cheap. So, naturally, we took it apart and refinished it in walnut, instantly transforming it into a piece worthy of the moniker. We can't hear the negative comments anymore, because we're too busy enjoying the sweet, smooth sound.

- Liner Notes
What a revelation! Whereas my monoblocks had authoritative bass together with strong mids and nice enough highs, the 4100 sounded like creamy mashed potatoes with gravy that made your mouth water just listening to it. Holy vintage solid state amp batman!
