@ English210,I'm here,reading your evaluations,the amp may need alot more time to settle in,maybe a couple of hundred hours,if the amp is used,and if I recall you did buy used,so I would give it more time.Happy listening! |
@ English210,your amp may or may not need 200 hrs to settle in,I gave that answer because after that many hours the amp would have no excuses for the sound it is providing being a used amp,a new amp would require 500 hrs to be sure of break-in.happy listening! |
@ english210,psb's thats funny!,I respect your infinitys way more than those 2 dimensional sounding speakers any day!,your speakers are capable of alot with the right equipment that is very exspensive!cheers! |
@ English210,congradulations!,keep us posted on the sound of the amp you obtained with your infinitys!,I am currious of the match!thanks!cheers! |
A good used class A krell amp,any model old or new class a/b would drive the hell out of your speakers with ease!,with very good sound!,you can find many used krells at different price points,depends on what you can afford,regardless,krell is known to drive any speaker! cheers! |
wow!I gave a well educated fact!,A used krell amp would give you the sound you are seeking for your infinitys!way better than parasound ever thought about sounding!,even a used intergrated amp like a 300I, 400xI, a used pure class A fpb 200 that goes for $2,500.00 to $3,500.00 would litterally destroy a parasound amp with its sound quality!,I have experience with ribbon speakers,with the right amp your infinitys that I am familiar with as well,would sing!,with these krell amps,and they will not make you morgage the house to do it!your infinitys will out perform those psb,paradighm speakers period with a good amp!,A tube pre-amp would be the finishing touches to a good sound for ribbon speakers!happy listening! |

well put English210,still,the krells mentioned above have finese and a laid back sound on the treble,they are in no way forward sounding!,do keep me posted here on your quest,I know krell is not the only answer here,just one of them,happy listening! |
@acman3,I am glad to see someone agree with what I was tring to say!your post is well put!,I agree with you with what you are saying!as well,keep us posted english210,cheers! |
@ English210,there are no bright krell amps from 2006 and down at all!the newer krells are wide banwidth amps that are very,very,resolving!you need warm non analitical treble cables on those amps,thats all!cheers! |
@ English210,There is alot of amps out there that have alot of power that sounds like crap!,The design of the amp really matters!,the particular sound of an amp may not be for the infinitys you have,even thou it has power to spare!,unfortunally,Its a gamble!,look,Krell makes a older intergrated called the 300I that you would be able to buy for $800.00 to $1,200.00 that would be great,unless your speakers are below 4 oms,that I believe they are not!,this krell intergrated amp is 150 watts per channel!,research the awards this ole amp has,and the user feedbacks,you will be surprised!,if the amp you just bought does not work for you,this is the best value in the used market that I know of!cheers! |
@ english210,I would not wast my time on eany Kav seperates!the intergrateds are as good,If you want to go seperates I would do the ole kas models,fpb full power balanced models,an fpb 200 is used market $2,000.00 to $3,000.00 and well worth the money!,and the KAS model amps are older than fpb but sound good to for the budget we are tring to work with here.,there really is not alot of difference in volume between 150 watts a channel and 250 watts a channel,thats why I said the intergratededs are a better deal,you also get a good pre-amp built in!cheers! |
@ English210,Man-o-man do I know were you are coming from with waiting for that delivery!,I am a kid at christmas my self when it comes to that!I will be waiting here to hear what you have to say about the amp,damn,now you got me excited!,LOL,its not even my amp!cheers and good luck with this amp!,happy listening! |
@ English210,The problem you described can be fixed for sure with cables!thats were I would start,please do not go chaseing the cat by the tail by mixing different cables,I have friends on the gon that do that,seems they are never satiesfied with their sound!,I do not believe you need other speakers,I agree with acman3 with what he said,but with the exception of keeping the speakers you have,It appears on the most part that the aquaired amp you just got is working out good for you,excellent!,cables useally become an issue when we change a componet,the synergy has to be matched,their are plenty of cables that will fix the ribbons sound that you have,If you want a basis for recommendations for cables,and your desired pricepoint,let me know,cheers! |
@ Acman3, I agree!,yes,the cable abyss!,I believe given the right equipment and cables his infinitys would sing!,ribbons can sound real good,if you know what you are doing!,hes going in the right direction,cables can and will fix his ribbon issues.,I also agree with everything else you said as well.cheers! |
@ Deebarnes,well said!,awsome,cables is what I recommended could be the problem,thanks! |
@ english210,Do not be suprised if the bigger room improves your sound,I am banking on that it will!,you do need better cables!,take your time!,we all buy a little at a time,I am not rich!,I have been building my main system for a year now,and still building it!cheers! |
@ english210,, If you ever want to know about Taralabs, let me know,I have bought there cables since they have been in bussiness!, I now have cost no object top of the line cables by them!,they are among the few as best available! cheers! |
@ deebarnes,, I just recommended a tara 0.8EX i/c for a member here on the gon,he put it between his analog pre-amp and the pre-amp,, needless to say he loved it so much he took my advice again and bought a 5 meter 0.8EX to go from his pre-amp to his amps!,, we have alot of tara fans on the thread here on the gon called taralabs the one versus the 0.8,,, on the cable threads, I have got 3 people to buy the taralabs cables and they love them,, all recently, just on that thread!,you are welcome to come there and chat,Its seems that they made me their Taralabs go to guy,I really know alot about all there products very well!,we also talk alot about eanything analog there too,if you have questions about that and tubes,we have a couple of go to guys for that there as well! Happy listening! |
