@jasonbourne71 most solid state amps do clip on transients, it might not be up to 1% but with solid state very low levels of high harmonic distortion can be heard by the human ear.
Need an amp upgrade suggestion..... But not the usual upgrade request :-)
I am looking to upgrade my amp. I want to avoid some of the back and forth so here are the details:
Room-14x16 some acoutsic treatment
Speakers B&W 705S2
Gustard R26 R2R DAC (Plenty of gain to drive w/out a pre amp) (No physical media)
2x REL T/5x subs
I like some volume as I am partially hearing deficient. (just old)
I would prefer something mainstream and not some obscure brand wise.
What say the pros?
Ah thought I forgot :-) Budget is $4K USD.
Thanks in advance!!
