Promitheus and Wyred4Sound


Hi,
Does anyone here have experience with a Promitheus TVC and Wyred4Sound's SX-1000 mono-blocks? The sensitivity seems to be be less to work with a TVC (2.95V) http://www.wyred4sound.com/118549/html/page.html
Please share your experience with W4S and any other passive preamp that you have used.
Thanks,
milpai

I have the M6PRX. It's a beast. Power forever and wonderful, warm, class AB sound. I also have a W4S 125wpc (well, really 100 below 1%thd) amp in another system. I've done the compare.

The W4S is a wonderful, detailed, open amp. It sounds great and if I only had a grand to spend on an amp that's what I'd buy in a New York minute.

But where the W4S would be described with terms like 'detailed, lean, analytical', the MF is 'warm, alive, organic'. Sort of what you'd expected comparing an ice-power to a very expensive and refined AB amp.

They both sound great. But I'm keeping a classic 'AB' amp for my main system for the foreseeable future.

PS: I'm a big W4S fan, I have two of their dacs. Great stuff and a wonderful company.
