Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier

Hello Guys,

Greetings everyone!!

I just saw the Mike Powell video where the Kinki was paired with the Magnepans, i just want to ask if the Kinki's 215 watts are real, i have a Hegel H20 amplifier (200 watts per channel) with P20 preamp and a pair of PMC Twenty5 26s and they are rated 86db, i am a bit confused here the Magnepans are 86db too and Mike could pump up the volume to its max, with my 200 watts Hegel amp i can't hardly do half the volume and it gets really really loud to the point where i can hurt the speakers and be deaf.

I am interested on the Kinki but Im afraid that it might not be that powerful to control my PMCs like the Hegel does.

Has anyone listened to Hegel amps and comment how do they stack vs the Kinki?

Regards

Miki

wonder if the gain on the kinki was set to low...
I agree vol @255 seems like the db level would be louder
I dont get above vol 100  & the db app loudness says I'm up in the 90's
that said I notice some streaming sources seem low & I  have to pump it up a bit but never all the way
