Anyone heard Resolution Audio Cantata C-50 amp ?



The C-50 is the new more powerful version of the OPUS 21 s30 amp.

Reviews say that it is very fast and musical (DNM like) but dont state if the sound is on the warm or cold side.

I am looking for a fast and warm SS amp with zero or low negative feedback for 6 Ohm average / 4 Ohm minimum / 89dB accuton ceramic driver based speakers.

I've owned the GNSC Reference modded RA Opus 21 and s30 for several years. I recently purchased the RA Cantata Music center. I've heard and demoed the C-50 extensively. I did not purchase the C-50 because it did not have the second set of speaker connections that the s30 had.

I would say that the C-50 is slightly on the warm side of neutrality. It is definitely not a overly warm/lush sounding amplifier. It is very open and and fast and very musical. I heard it drive a pair of loudspeakers that were 85 db efficient with no problem. However, I wouldn't think that 50 watts with your loudspeakers is going to blow the roof off your house :) If possible, I would try and demo if you can. Good luck.
