Classe CA-M 600 vs Electrocompaniet NEMO


Hello everybody. My current system at the moment is all top of the line Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP/4.8/NEMO driving a pair of B&W 800 Diamonds (the latest ones, not D).While the system sounds impressive it doesn't sound as effortless as it should (keep in mind that I don't have dedicated lines yet and most of the living room seems to sit on one line!). I know that NEMO's eat tons of current so that could be the problem. I can't help but wonder if switching to all Classe set up (CP 800/CA-M 600) would be a good idea. The Classe/B&W set ups I heard at the dealers all sounded like the amps and the speakers were literally made for each other.

Antonkk, I recall that you are in Russia, and so I assume you have 240 volt electrical service.

Before jumping on the revolving gear bandwagon, I'd start with running good quality 10 gauge electrical wire hooked up to 30 amp circuit breakers, with a separate feed for each Nemo monoblock. I am in the U.S. where standard voltage is 120V, but I am currently feeding my Symphonic Line Kraft 250 monos with 240 volts via a Furutech duplex Schuko outlet connected with 10 gauge wire to 30 amp breakers.

Oh, and Doggie, you have some interesting gear - it's time for you to put it up on a virtual system page! And speaking of Plinius, I just replaced my Plinius SB-301 power amp and Plinius M8 pre with the SL Krafts and SL tubed pre, but I can say that the SB-301 is a GREAT amp for the money.
