Does anyone own a Dynavector HX-1.2 power amp?


Hi, I was wondering if there are Audiogoners here who own a Dynavector HX-1.2 power amplifier? I am interested in hearing what equipment they partnered it with. I had the covers of the heatsinks screen painted with the new Maori Hook logos, and it looks awesome! I would love to exchange pictures, etc. Thanks!

Hi

I've been using a Dynavector HX-1.2 for the past 8 or 9 years. Run it with a Meridian 500/518/566.24 CD, Audio Research LS 7 pre and Shahinian Hawk speakers. The HX1.2 is a very musical amp, drives the Hawks with ease and has been totally reliable. Plan to upgrade the LS 7 with a Dynavector L-300 when I can get my hands on one and perhaps add a second HX-1.2 to bi-amp and really make the Hawks fly. The Meridian is also about to get the push in favour of the G08 or new 808.
I can remember as far back as 2002 the L-300 prototype was doing the rounds at dealers in the uk. And its still not out yet?
Grahams in London had an L-300 when I was there in August 2004 and it was featured in their winter newsletter. Problem is I'm in New Zealand where Dynavector is assembled and export seems to be the name of the game. My local hifi dealer enquired, to be told there would be no more stock until the next production run in June 2005.
I've had my L300/P300 for nearly a year and it's a wonderful product. I owned a $23,000 Naim 552 prior to the Dynie and do not miss a thing about it.
Any other Dynavector HX-1.2 experiences? Comparisons with the Bedini BA-803 Amps, that they are based on? Or with Plinius, Pass, Jeff Rowland, Gruensch?
Maybe this year the new HX-100 should come to the market, see the new Dynavector Amps page:
