I also listen to heavy metal and what I found that sounds good is AB 250W amp that is capable of pushing about 40W class A and speakers that are no les than 94db, also big deal is a preamp, less complicated is better. My first system that was producing really great HM was Threshold S550e paired with Threshold FAT10 or Threshold T2 pre and JBL 4367, they do great job with neutral sound and very dynamic sound, I upgraded from that system to Pass Labs X250.8 and Pass Labs XP12 pre..... now that's impressive sound !
Accuphase or Leben for heavy metal
Guys, I have a short and practical question. I have an opportunity to buy either Accuphase E600 or Leben CS600X at good price. I listen to a wide range of music, but particularly interested in which if these two amps is better for heavy metal particularly. Under all other equal conditions, speakers are easy to drive 90db Piega at the moment. Maybe none of these two, which is also an option.
