Metalhead here about 50% of the time. The other half jazz, fusion jazz, classic rock, grunge, early American/ bluegrass. For me the right combination is a Cary SLI80HS (80 wpc) and a pair of Volti Razz (96db efficiency or there about). For me a system that does everything really well is important. My room is not that big. I definitely get the energy and dynamics I crave. IMO the key was changing to a horn loaded mid that was non fatiguing and listenable for long periods. The Volti fit that bill in spades.
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.

To the people claiming you want a certain class of amp to play "demanding" metal is wrong. I run @atmasphere class D and a tube phono and pre and am completely satisfied with speed and detail. All amps will work, test a few if you can. Oh and I play death metal to grind to hardcore to classic rock and acoustic. All sound fantastic and I listen at around 76db. Avoid advice from those with sweeping generalizations. |
