integrated amp for Wilson Sabrina X


Has anyone heard the McIntosh MA8950 or the Krell K 300i with the Sabrina X 's ?

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these amps, or recommendation any other solid state amp

You have to add Pass and Boulder to the list. I would definitely consider Pass. Listen to both the X series and XA. The XA is much warmer and more natural sounding.

Oops, you’re right. I missed the integrated part. The OP should definitely listen to the Pass INT-250. I spent a couple hours with its little brother the INT-60 last week. It is very impressive. Well balanced sound, natural, refined, great power. An excellent integrated… I was comparing with Luxman 509 and Audio Research I-50.

It was. They were like a continuum of discreetness of sounds / detail of the Luxman to more midrange bloom and musicality (really good rhythm and pace for a solid state) and authority (Pass), and finally warm , rich and natural The ARC). I would just fall into the ARC, close my eyes and get lost in the music. But I was trying to help a friend that was still to have a system with great authority and I felt that was best for him.
