If the DNA .5 would drive the 803's, then I maybe I should consider making an offer on the Rev A that's currently up for $1200??? Just concenred about going down to 100wpc, then again, if I wasn't happy with power, could always pick up another and biamp or get them converted to mono.
Considering new amp - Mccormack
I've got the itch to upgrade my amps.
Currently I'm horizontally biamping with two modified Adcom GFA 555 II.
Rest of system as follows
B&W 803 Matrix SII - Recently refurbished
Sonic Frontiers SF1 Preamp
Music Fidelity A3 24 Dac
PS Audio P1000 power conditioner
Favorite Bands are:
Radiohead
Bon Iver
Fleet Foxes
Massive Attack
What I don't like about system: Raspy... especially with radiohead vocals.. The B&W combo with adcom and vocals of peter york are Harsh.
I'm considering the Mccormack amps, anything from the DNA .5's modified to mono's or DNA 2 or DNA 500?? Currently there is a DNA 2 Limited edition on Audiogon for about the same amount as the DNA 500.
My max budget is around $3k, but less would be nice, maybe I could get away with a single DNA .5 or DNA 125?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
