- It's rare for technologies used in guitar, bass or instrument amplifiers to earn mention in top audio journals. David Berning's ZH-230, a 30-watt amplifier that shares technologies with GAGA, has won Editors Choice Award 2011 and has been called "the anointed new king" in The Absolute Sound Magazine. Previously, Berning's Quadrature Z (also sharing technologies with GAGA) was named Product of the Year by HiFi+ Magazine. GAGA brings to the musical realm something truly fresh and sonically special, and it's not just us saying so. 2011-05

- Reus Audio is a retailer of Milbert Amplifiers products
"It is fashionable in much of the car stereo industry to promote the overpowered, over-speakered thump and bump sound. This is not our focus. Reus designed systems are for a more discerning audience. The individual who prefers to listen to the music rather than the electronics - The individual who cares about his or her car, expecting its integrity to stay intact without being mauled with components that really have no place in it."

- Tone Audio Magazine (http://tone.ws) writes that Milbert makes "the best sounding car amplifier on the face of the earth...[30] pure tube watts per channel."
- BaM-235ab press releases appearing in 12volt News, Celebrity Car magazine, Enjoy The Music, 21 HiFi, and others as well as various sites and forums online.

- The Robb Report Collection, "Great Machines Special Issue," June, 2005 editorial review:
"If musical accuracy is what you are seeking, the Milbert is most certainly the Holy Grail of auto sound."

- Purchased Earl's Car
- AutoStylin magazine Technical story
"The BaM-235ab coupled with audiophile gear and high efficiency speakers can be very revealing. It is not kind of, sort of, maybe sometimes, or slightly better, but the improvement is large and immediately apparent. Veils vanish and things not previously heard leap out from the music: The ambience, the many nuances and intricacies, the breaths, sighs and shimmers all become audibly apparent. And you feel the emotion.
"Drumbeats that were perhaps homogenous thuds in SPL-competition systems are transformed, in that the type of drum sticks, the sticking or playing style, and even the drum head material itself becomes discernible. New layers are revealed. Duet voices become independently distinguishable and harmonious, instead of blurred. A woman's voice in a recording you've heard many times can suddenly make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. That's the kind of resolution, detail and emotional impact which you can routinely expect from the BaM-235. In any system, the BaM-235 helps you feel music, and that is priceless.
