I was just thinking on this baby yesterday. I have a Bel Canto SET40 amp and a Bel Canto SET pre and the thought of that sound quality, at the ocassional mega SPL levels I love, pushing my 101db speakers (which can handle 300 watts per), gives me the chills. True $5k for a pair, plus the power cords is not an inexpensive solution, but just the idea of all that power and quality sound makes me itch.
Wwshull,
The SET sound is quite addicting, but when that extra wattage is needed for prodigious transients, SET does not have it. I don't know if any tube set has it, for that matter. I wouldn't sacrifice my SET sound for the extra power. For $5k, not unreasonable considering my rig, I can have my cake and eat it too. So it seems. I am waiting for a first hand listening experience of this baby to motivate me to have a go at the wife: again!!
At this time I'm really not thinking seriously of doing a demo. Living near the Big Apple, I don't think it would be hard to give these babies a whirl, but..and that's a big but, we're still talking $5k plus two power cords and jumper cables? We're talking close to $6.5k. Too much at this time. 500 watts of quality SET sound that I have now? Keeps me itching, but not nuts for the move. I'll see as time goes by. If I could get the wife to go for that kind of money, I would have a hard time not upgrading my Definition 1.5s to the new Definition 2s. go figure...
