Staring at the Bravo 2.3 in the flesh looking rather better than its web photos, I confess that thoughts of feeling predictable and getting manipulated raised their gnarly little grimaces. Unless his maker had somehow fouled up a proven recipe, Steven's plan was destined to succeed. If Steve wanted to reverse-engineer the Realsization Award I had bestowed on Almarro's overachieving A318B, all he had to do was submit a machine based on the same concept, the same output tubes and the same price class.
He is JAS Audio's US distributor, replacing Opera Audio Consonance which he previously represented. No mystery at all is why Steve Monte of NAT Distribution and Quest for Sound should have solicited this review. Why FedEx hadn't chosen Dubai as the single stop-over necessary to bridge HK and Larnaka remains a mystery. The shipping papers named Dignity Interl (HK) Ltd in Mongkok Kowloon's 56 Dundas Street as the shipper and point of origin respectively. The planes had flown via Poyle/Great Britain, Paris/France, Memphis/Tennessee, Anchorage/Alaska, Lantau Island/Hong Kong to finally arrive at the box's drop-off location of Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. Reverse engineering - more like back tracking - its flight path to Larnaka/Cyprus showed Global Village tentacles. Hadn't I just applauded Almarro's A318B, an 18-watt 6C33C SET from Japan selling for below $2,000? Now China retaliated by adding remote volume, user-adjustable negative feedback, auto bias and a tube cage while asking $1,949. Room size: 16' w x 21' d x 9' h in short-wall setup, with openly adjoining 15' x 35' living roomĭéjà vu all over again? Reverse engineering? These concepts collided in the JAS Audio Bravo 2.3.
