I am extremely busy at work and don’t have much free time; however, I want to share a bit of experience I have had with Decware and my new Torii MKIII. I called Steve one day asking about his speakers. I felt that my Kilpsch were too bright. I had treated my room, modified the Klipsch internal crossovers and spent lots of money on various CD players.  Steve asked several questions and had me try some test.  He said “I don’t know if I should sell you new speakers or recommend a different amp but I am leaning toward the amp”.  I was surprised by that statement. I was sure my speakers were the problem.  I took a chance and ordered the Torii. There were many other questions and I can tell you that everything this man has told me turned out to be correct.

It was a very long wait so I was really excited when it came. It was packed very well and came complete.  Dealing with Steve and Sarah has been top notch.  I did not like the amp right out of the box. Once I had time to really play with the controls and dial it in, I started to like it more and more.  I have been running it for about 16 hours on and off for 8. I estimate to have almost 200 hours on it. My system is quite resolving and small changes are noticed.  I have had several solid state amps costing about the same as the Torii. My Bob Latino ST-120 toped them all. The Torii replaced my ST-120 and it was defiantly a step in the right direction. I am feeding the Torii with my Oppo 95 Modwright Tube Modification. The Torii does change a lot with break in and tube rolling. It just gets better and better. The end result is that I absolutely love the Torii. I sold my Marantz AV7005 and ordered a Zen Ultra. I am very excited to receive it!  

As you probably already know, writing is not one of my strengths. I will say this - the below paragraph was taken right out of the Torii manual and it describes this amp perfectly:

“The width is equally impressive creating an arc that comes back to your shoulders, many feet past the speakers position. The sound is big. It's full, the dynamics are convincingly real as is the midrange and the top end seems to extend forever. Micro detail is almost twice as resolved as our single ended triode amps.”

Hola, Roy, and welcome to the forum.

What Klipsch are you running?

Roy,

Great news what an improvement the Torii has brought to your listening enjoyment.

For me, not only interconnects and speaker wire, but also power wires, connectors, feet...even specific foot placement, and of course all the tube types. With a Torii and a good source and speakers in a good room, everything is a tunable system part. Amazing!

Have fun!
