What HiFi review quotes:
The MP 3000 HV is for those that want high-end sound quality from multiple sources without the mass of boxes typically required,.

+Exceptional build quality
+Refined and composed sound
+Plenty of insigh
+nuanced dynamics
+Impressive clarity

This may be an integrated amp but inside you’ll find the preamplifier and power amplifier sections are physically separated.

The PA 3000 HV is a powerful unit. Its output is rated at 300W per channel into eight ohms. More revealing is the peak power at four ohms, which is 700W per channel. This should be more than enough for most situations

It’s a proper dual-mono design where the left and right channels are separated. A great deal of care has been paid to component quality, right down to using decay-resistant air-sealed gold contact relays.

With all these aesthetic, operational, and technological goodies, it’s impossible to meet these HV components and not fall at least superficially in love with them!

HV models not only stand up to their Teutonic (Swiss) brethren, they sound just like them. What T+A has done is to make it possible for audiophiles of more modest (though still significant) resources to get in on the extraordinary build-quality, sonic merit and character, and sheer musical enjoyment of the Swiss School. And that is surely a promise fulfilled.

It prefers to paint with a very fine brush, and revels in delivering the intricacies of Kate Bush’s voice or the delicate dynamic ripples of Arvo Pärt’s Tabula Rasa, rather than shaking the floor with Major Lazer’s Pon De Floor.

Don’t get us wrong. This amplifier goes every bit as loud as its power figures suggest, regardless of speakers tried.

Everything from our reference ATC SCM 50 to Monitor Audio’s PL 300s delivered a huge sound at ear-splitting levels when required, but the amplifier’s natural disposition is to be just a little understated, preferring to draw the listener into the music rather than smash it over their heads.

We expect loads of detail, and get it. There’s a superb level of clarity here, with even complex pieces of music such as Orff’s Carmina Burana laid bare with surgical precision.
