I’ve heard the Sphinx many times (my friend owns it) and I own the bigger brother m6si. In my opinion the m5si will drive the speakers better and the sound will be well rounded dynamic and detailed. I went for the m6si for the extra power. His sphinx struggles to drive his speakers (they are Adam speakers) when he wants to play it loud. Just an opinion
Looking for a new integrated amp
I am looking at three different choices for a new integrated amp. My budget is about $2000. The amps that I am considering are: 1. Rogue Sphinx V3 2. Creek EVO100A 3. Musical Fidelity M5si. What are everyone's experiences with these amps? Does one outshine the others? My taste in music are primarily rock, blues, and classical. My preferences are a wide and deep soundstage with a lot of detail. The rest of my system includes Pro Ject turntable with a ZYX Bloom 3 cartridge, Lounge LCR mkIII and Lounge Copla (both with the silver wire upgrade) and Tekton Double Impact speakers. Opinions on what would sound best with what I have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....
