Thanks for the post, Pdreher. I really all the info I could find on it and thought it might be a little bass shy. Otherwose, knowing their build quality and attention to detail and sonics, I have no doubt its a great sounding piece of gear.
I had an Ayon integrated and the heat was too much. Had to get out of the kitchen! But, I am a fan of Cary and AES gear having owned several preamps of theirs....6sn7's can really give a big beautiful sonic experience.
For a number of reasons, I am pretty much confined to solid state gear, but am always looking for a tubelike sound or a hybird of sorts. Other amps that have caught my eye are the Moscode 402 and the Gamut D 200 series. They actually seem to read like a better fit to me....but the AMR is very sweet and I am familiar with their sound and approach and like them both.
The DP777SE that is heading my way can also directly drive an amp....so, it could serve as a direct source and eliminate extra boxes as well. I am loathe to part with my Klyne, though. It is the nicest solid state preamp I have heard but a good margin...in my system, etc.
And, thanks for the compliment! I was lucky enough to pick up a bunch of myrtlewood plynths and mount inserts for the footers for the platforms. I also cannabilzed some earlier speaker stands for their uprights, damped them and filled them with sand so they are super stable and sonically rich from the wood.
The consol is an old walnut sideboard that I cut the legs off and damped onto the floor. Pretty solid and heavy and vibration proof....I agree it all makes for nice comforable/luxurious eye candy. Thanks again for that.
