(or Prima Luna, if you’re okay with the whole CCP export virus thing) and sit back and laugh at how you ever thought anyone actually ever had a need for hundreds of watts.Isn’t your Melody and Dayton Audio Amp are came from the virus exporting CCP?
Because yes of course there are huge- not subtle, huge- differences between amps. Especially when you get into good tube integrateds and discover what solid state has been trying (and failing) to be all these years. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 A 50 wpc tube amp. All the power you will ever need.
For efficient speakers, how much difference does an amp really make?
I have ascend sierra RAAL tower speakers with 90-93db efficiency and 300W continuous power handling. I’m powering them with dual outlaw M2200 monoblock class AB/G amps rated at 200W into 8 ohms. It sounds good...but i can’t help but wondering if a different amp would provide greater clarity and low-end grunt.
I have been curious about an older adcom amp like the GFA-555 II or perhaps a parasound halo amp like the A23.
To those who have had multiple amps in your setup, did you find significant sonic differences between amps, or is a subtle thing? I don’t want to start collecting amps, but I don’t want to deny myself the chance to improve my system further. Thoughts?
