Nuforce 9.02 + Eggleston speakers

The Reference 9SE's are NuForce's best sounding amps (most articulate, extended bass and most detail and focus). I'd go for those as long as the Andra's are at least 86dB/watt sensitive. Remove the sound-degrading speaker output capacitors when you get them and you'll be very pleased.

Don't do it... I tried the Nuforce 9s on my pair of Andra IIs, and the results were disappointing. Flat soundstage, mediocre tonality, and the combination had no redeeming sonic qualities whatsoever. No synergy whatsoever.

Thank you both for your input.

I agree with 1markr, if you read my "answers" you will see what I have been up too with trying "ice" amps. The Andra's are just way to good for that.

Currently my set-up is McIntosh 501's, ARC Ref3 pre., sources; ARC cd3 MK2 as a transport going through Accustic Arts Dac1 MK4 along with McIntosh 300 Music Server for back ground music going through the Dac also. I am getting a Accustic Arts Drive 1-MK2 to compare against the ARC cd3 MK2.

Cables Stealth Sextet digital
Virtual Dynamics Revelation in balance mode, I ordered some Genesis 6 ft bi-wire speaker cable, should be interesting.

I am waiting for a Supratek Sauv. line stage, suppose to be better then the Ref3.

I am also going to try the Bent Tap.

I just got the Accustic Arts dac wow!

you know, every time i've asked jason a question along that line, he'd generally underestimate his amps. yet, the public, out there would generally say the little buggers can pretty much handle whatever is thrown at them .........dan
