This is arguably what any hi-fi system should aspire to do – give an unfiltered view of the material – but I wouldn’t deny anyone seeking a softer sound, with more opulence in the bass. A counter to this is that the Pre/DM v2 bring their weight and drive to anything, making for a consistently thrilling, involving listen. Howard Shore’s ‘The Fighting Uruk-hai’, from the first film in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy [Rhino/Warner; 48kHz/24-bit], was rendered with astonishing power to the brass and percussion, giving this orchestral piece the scale and drama it demands. But even the smooth soul of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ [Back To Black, Island; 96kHz/24-bit] benefitted from the amps’ dynamic flavour.

I listened to a lot of music through the Pre v2/DM v2 because I found them to be so much fun. Not fun to the point of being too eager or brash – there’s a well-balanced and finely detailed approach here that fits the none-too-shabby price tag and gorgeous styling. These are, however, distinctly powerful and energetic-sounding. Looking for a system to really get your foot tapping? Look here.
