Jadis Defy 7: need advice


Hi

I am interested in buying a used Defy 7. But I need some help:

1. Are the four versions very different? Which ones shall I avoid? Which ones do you enjoy the most (and why)?

2. I am looking for tight bass and non-bright highs. In your opinion, this Jadis suits these requirements?

3. Is it suited to drive 90 db / 4 ohms speakers?

4. Is it noisy?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Lisbon

I owned the 7 mk 4 version for about 3 years. Only thing I know about 1,2,3 is what I read in Stereophile. That pretty well matches what rcprince says. I have since moved on to CJ 8xs (el34's)version. To me one is music;the other ain't. Even CJ 5's (triode/el34s) makes more music than Defy 7 mk4. Mids to die for with the right tubes. And, pray you don't need service from the factory or US distributor if you go Jadis.
