Once i upgraded the P1 to a 16 core single crystal copper balanced cable I could use the M11 at the balanced 4.4mm output power is 550mwatts @ 32ohms .
Sound was well defined, ample power, but after a rec from BGGAR to pair the M11/w the BA300S tube amp, it simply gave the P1 an extra +3db of oooomph !!!
But the tube amp took the great M11 sound, which can be a bit analytical and sterile, to a fuller soundstage and more life-like in person sound. It actually gives the bass light P1 an acceptable well rounded bass, and brings some recessed vocals fwd.
My only complaint is the lousy battery life of the BA300S, but since I listen for 2-3 hrs max is not a prob to charge overnight.
Little Bear tube amps are great values, but the BA300S outperforms them significantly, sound is stellar audiophile grade IMO.
