Somewhat inspired by this thread https://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/highly-reviewed-gear-that-was-a-big-let-down-for-you.275098/, only in reverse.
I haven't heard the new Cyrus, but the Audiolab seemed very good for the money.Audiolab 6000A and Cyrus ONE Cast. Although they have some good reviews, on forums they generally pop.
The Arcam A32 I picked up the other day. HiFi News absolutely panned it in a group test. It is simply a very well designed amp and one of the best I have had through my living room.
