Hi @emarcano, To my ears they sound phenomenal. Wide,deep soundstage. Great texture,and tone. The J2 seems to drive them with ease. I use the J2 in my main system in the winter months,and my secondary system in my finished basement in the summer. The J2 does run hot. I definitely would not put it in a cabinet,it needs to have airflow. I would highly recommend the J2 with the Nolas. Keep us posted.

I’m a First Watt fan. I run an F5,and a J2. Different seasonings for the same cut of Filet. Wonderful amps. The J2 is currently being paired with an Aric Audio Motherlode II driving Graham Chartwell ls3/5’s. I don’t listen at ear bleed levels,and this combo always puts a smile on my face. The F5 is paired at the moment with a Prometheus TVC driving Nola Boxer 2’s. Again,always a smile. If I had to split hairs,I would say the soundstage on the J2 is a little taller,and has a more textured presentation. The F5 has a bit more zip,detail. Nice review on the J2! |
@emarcano,if you’re ever in the Rochester,NY area,I’d be very happy to give an audition. |
