Atmasphere frequently comments on "music specific" gear being a silly idea and I agree 100%. Maybe you don’t want mini monitors for metal, but maybe you don’t want those for Mahler either. Or maybe you do. Do you plan to sit 50’ away from your system? No? Does anybody sit there listening to metal at 115 db? Don’t answer that. I’ve spent many decades playing electric guitar too damn loud and now go between 15 watt and 18 watt tube guitar amps and either one can still play REALLY loud although I don’t do that...pedals...gotta have my pile of pedals. My hifi rig uses Klipsch Heresy IIIs (allegedly 99db efficient) and 2 RELs with either a 15 watt Had SEP or a Pass XA-25. I sit 9’ or so away from the speakers and loud (for me anyway) uses maybe 3 watts, although I have no clue. Weirdly, the system won’t play mumblecore or polka so there’s that.
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.
