I also fully endorse Odyssey. Talk to the owner on the phone, tell him what you are looking for, and just let him talk you into whatever he thinks will work best. The guy (Klaus Bunge) is a character in a "mad genius" sort of way. You will have great fun, wait quite a while (...), then end up with a phenomenal amp for a great price!
Coda 11, Schiit Tyr, JC5 or ???
Poured over the forums but seeking repl. for Rogue Medusa. Sold my Parasound 5ch beast and had regrets at the sale-demo. Miss the gutteral full bass. I'm done with ClassD. It's got detail but lacking fullness Want more musicality and like a good soundstage and prefer ClassA/AB. Tried tube rolling. Max budget $4k new or used considering Coda 11, JC5, Kinki M7, or new Schiit Tyr pair. All in budget used. Recent Tyr favorable review in Absolute Sound. Need power for pairing with 4-Ohm CSS towers with Audible Illusions L3A pre.
Appreciate opinions?

@adamsherman What class D amps were you listening to? I’m finding them to be more similar to AB these days. Personally I’m using Orchard Audio ganfet amps and enjoying the synergy with tube preamp. For solid state I have Schiit Aegir monoblocks which are very good Schiit has a new dual mono amp called Wotan. Worth trying with their 15 day return window. |
