"The Signature 57 packs a large capacity ‘LiFePO4’ battery for double the amp-hours (Ah) of its younger siblings. The base unit (reviewed here) will run for almost 18 hours on a single charge. The MOSFET output stage allows for high current push into the likes of 84db stand-mounts and (some) Magnepans; something that’s pretty much inconceivable with the lower-powered Signature 15 and 16.

Being a dual-mono design – essentially two Lilliana boards under one roof – imaging met my high expectations head on. Ditto macro dynamics. The Signature 57 turns up the lights on the spaces surrounding instruments. Most obvious in battery mode, music emanated from further behind the speaker plane than with ANY amplifier I’ve heard to date. If you like your system to play illusory with blowing out the back wall, this amplifier could be your guy. The presence-regioned caffeination is nowhere near as keen as the Signature 15, the 57 being more refined and mature in this regard."
