Hi,

Recently I'm hooked up to Pathos amplifiers with their unique design and hybrid technology.

Anyone has used some of them, please advise/share me with your experience or opinion on them.

- Speakers : Sonus Faber Olympica Nova IIIs
- Network : Cambridge CXN V2 or 851N
- Current amplifiers : LC audio millennium power amplifier via Onkyo 6.1ch receiver's pre-out (direct)

Pathos candidates for my integrated amplifier
1. Classic One Mk III x 2 (mono bridged)
2. Twin Tower RR or Anniversary
3. Inpol 2

Thanks

Hi dill, thanks for your response.

I'm also eager for pair of classic ones as I've read many reviews with their nice performance when bridged.

But before final decision, just wanted to get more opinions on which will be best one out ot above 3 candidates for my 18'x22' living room, supposing below prices are available;

 - Pair of classic one (new) : $3.9k
 - Twin Tower anniversary (new) : $4.5k
 - Inpol 2 (used, mint condition) : $4.5k

Thanks

Hi, Alexatpos,

Thanks for sharing your experience and precious opinion.

Yes, some reviews on SF Olympica Nova3s, there're also advices to hook to amplifiers of 'enough' handling power, now that all those reviews are in similar line to your advice.

I think I have to reconsider with separation (pre & amp) or more higher integrates.

Thanks again and wish you happy new year :)
