AP2140A-S Operetta 2 Channel Amplifier
I went to audition the Operetta AP2140A after Luc Morin wrote a rave review
on his website. I am the one who brought a 1942 recording of the Strauss
Solemn Prelude and a 1955 Wagner Ring on Testament, along with more
contemporary material. They sounded very well indeed.
What impressed me then and now is the Operetta's ability to make a cohesive
spatial image. It is strikingly clear where the first oboe is sitting or where is
soloist is standing. The Goerne/Brendel Winterise is amazing in this respect.
Although the rated power is modest at 70w a side, there always seems to be
ample power in reserve. My wife was blown away by Kind of Blue on this amp.
I have occasionally activated the speaker protect relays, through doing
something thoughtless. It is nice to know that the product is so well designed
to compensate for an inadvertent error or two.
Last weekend I heard the Lyra speakers at Luc's in a full Jaton system (same
Operetta amp plus preamp/tuner/processor). Gorgeous sounding string quartet
and solo cello. I have to hear the Wagner again on these.
Jaton clearly is combining excellent performance and value with these products.

AP5140A-S Operetta 5 Channel Amplifier
I decided to give this amp a try after meeting George at the RMAF.
Overall its a very well built amp especially considering the price. Very quiet
amp as advertised. Very pleasing sounding amp, good bass and very smooth high
end without any trace of harshness.
I originally intended to use the amp for home theater, but I'm using it to
bi-amp my current speakers with excellent results. Exceeded my expectations
and I'm very pleased with the purchase.
