I had a J2 in my system for two weeks (borrowed from a friend) and it was one of the better sounding solid state amps I’ve heard—vivid and lively when playing at modest levels and not lifeless and non-engaging as is the case with many other solid state amps at lower volume levels. My speakers are easy to drive at 99 db/w efficiency.
First Watt J2 & speaker pairing ?
I'm trying to decide if the J2 is worth the effort ? All reviews are favorable , some even glorify the sonic nature of this 25 watt amp. I'd like to see what the deal is with a class A amp - it seems like it's all I could ask for in an amp * Except and this is a big exception -the need for highly efficient speakers to appreciate the amp.
Don't mind shopping for another pair of speakers but realistic choices seem so limited. Zu audio seems to be a big favorite pairing .
I'm running a Rogue audio cronus mag lll with Dahlquist DQ 10 speakers ( older speakers ) also have Spendor s5e's Don't think either will ideal match with J2
Really enjoy the open ,wide range of the DQ10's
Any suggestions are most welcome
thanks in advance
