Anyone compare Jadis JA 30 amps with JA 80s?


Aside from the power differential, 30 watts vs. 60 watts, are there any noticeable sonic differences?

I have a pair of JA30 and I find them to be more musically engaging than the 80s. I would advice you to arrange an audition or a home demo before committing to such a substantial investment.
Also, bear in mind the quest for speakers will be long, as the JadisĀ“ "je ne sais quoi" will demand equally "special" speakers to properly shine ....
Echoing Russ' post, I have two Jadis integrateds which are somewhat analogous, the DA30 and DA60. As he said, the difference in power is noticeable. And, I would put a whole lot of additional emphasis on that statement.
Hi Rcprince!
I use JA30 for my Merlins VSM-Mx, perfect match with extra power if needed. These speakers are very efficient and easy to drive, can play very loud without breaking up.
I love the sound of these with NOS Mullards EL34 and NOS Siemens input tubes. Using this combination of tubes make as good balance I think.

Many Thanks!
I owned 80s and heard the 30s on a number of occasions. The power differential is noticeable, unless you have very efficient speakers. I think, with the right speakers, the 30s might be slightly better in the bass regions than the 80s, and might be slightly sweeter, but for most part I thought they were very similar, and for my speakers the 80s' extra power was a big difference-maker. Both terrific amplifiers, in my opinion, if you like the Jadis house sound. I would use EL34s or KT88s with them to get the best out of them.
