The Klipsch and Sonus Faber are really different sound signature speakers, in general, really depends on what sounds good to you. Sonus Faber tend to need more power, have a warmer sound, Horns are way more efficient, crisp sounding. If ther is anyway you could audition both would be ideal. I would lean toward Sonus Faber all day but that’s based on what I like. Lots of different models to chose from. Mac gear would work well with either, if you went amp first, I’d go Mac SS amp, you will get some tube magic with the pre.
Picking a power amp
Hi folks,
I'am trying to pick a power amp for a modest system(15,000)
My listening area is 12x20.
I have a MX110z tuner preamp,and a Adcom 545 100wt per channel power amp now.
I just got a Auralic Vega g1 and it sounds great to me.
I'am using tidal to the the streamer and like it a lot.
It is time to pick a power amp or speakers.
I currently have 25 year old Polk m10's and since getting the auralic,I'am fairly surprised how much better they sound.
I don't know whether to get speakers or a amp next,to get to the next level.
Amps I'am considering are Mac 225,240,275 if tube or Mac 7270 or 2205 SS.
I'am also considering AR,and CJ if I could find something 2,000-5,000
For speakers I was thinking Klipsch for tube amp or Sonus Faber if SS,if I can find a model that can do rock and used under 5,000.
I listen to 40% rock 40% pop,blues,soul 20% classical,jazz.
Any thoughts on where to go next.
Thanks
