I wouldn't buy it without trying it first. All of the First Watt amps apparently sound different from one another, but the different sounds may or may not be for you.
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
