Does anyone know how Octave's designer gets that many watts from only 4 power tubes and why the power increases from 40 to 70 watts without an increase in power tubes between the V40 and V70?
Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1
After an inordinately long search, I have definitely decided to purchase the Dynaudio Confidence C1 speakers. I think they are amazing speakers. I recently auditioned them with the Naim separates, the 202 preamp and 200 power amp and a Naim CD player. I thought the system sounded great, intimate, sweet, clean, and transparent. Having read a lot of great comments about the Octave V70 amp, should I audition that as well or conclude my search? I have a 12 by 20 room and listen to jazz, vocals, Brazilian, r&b and other generally non bombastic music.
