This synth is in perfect working order, and has never left my smoke free home. It's a versatile, monophonic, duophonic, and paraphonic synthesizer. Despite this being a monosynth at the core, you can also play three notes at a time through the same signal path in paraphonic mode, or split the filters and oscillators to play it in duophonic mode. All this leads to an excellent and unique analog effects section at the end of the signal chain.
I think Arturia sums it up pretty well:
"MatrixBrute is arguably the most powerful analog monophonic synthesizer ever! As flexible as a modular system but offering presets, MatrixBrute is a dream machine for everyone interested in creating a sound palette of their own."

It is difficult to criticize the Prelude at its bargain price of $3000/pair. I've heard high-end loudspeakers costing more than twice the Prelude's price that didn't provide anywhere near this level of musical performance. None$*theless, I found the bass balance a little on the lean side in my large room—a little more weight and authority would have been welcome. In addition, the polite treble contributed to less sense of air, which made the soundstage less expansive than that heard from many loudspeakers.
My descriptions of specific aspects of the Prelude's performance throughout this review don't tell the whole story. What I want to leave you with is how greatly I enjoyed music through the Prelude, particularly with the Cary 300SEI. I experienced many transcendental musical moments with this moderately priced combination.
The Infinity Prelude is worthy of my highest recommendation. In fact, I gave them the ultimate vote of confidence: I bought the review samples.—Robert Harley
