"It has taken little time for Australian firm MAS to receive worldwide attention .In
France,the range of MAS Electronics has seduced us... Metaxas products belong to
this rare category of electronics which achieve the essential and vital qualities of a
good Hi Fi system which drive you to irresistibly listen and enjoy records one after
the other".
Jean Hiraga/Patrick Vercher LA NOUVELLE REVUE DU SON, France.
"The IKARUS manages to combine two characteristics which are generally incompati-
ble; on the one hand it succeeds in X-raying the music, whilst at the same time, it
preserves its spirit and its musicality.The Ikarus is in fact an excellent product, rich
in personality, refined, easy to use, very pretty, but most of all, it is a high class
product.
Silvio Delfino FEDELTA DEL SUONO, Italy
" Provided that the back-up components are of good quality, listeners can expect
lush, well produced sounds closely akin to vacuum tubes. The unit's presentation of a
soundstage is astounding. All dimensions are faithfully reproduced with the appropri-
ate focal impact. There is enough air around instruments and voices to beguile even
seasoned listeners".
Ernie Fisher, THE INNER EAR REPORT, Canada.
"In my listening sessions, the IKARUS amazed me with what 40Watts can sound like.
Mids were neutral and transparent and the highs were shimmering and detailed with
neither harshness nor a hard gloss. The sound is astonishingly finely etched, even at
very low volume levels. For sheer beauty (sonic and visual), uncharacteristically good
connection flexibility and the ability to drive difficult audiophile speakers, the MAS
IKARUS is the best 40Watter around".
Greg Borrowman, AUSTRALIAN HI FI, Australia.
