I have a pair of Snell C/V driven by a Classe 15. Bass is punchy and tight.
Snell B-Minors: What works best?
My friend upgraded his Snell Ds to B-Minors and is now looking to upgrade his amp, pre-amp, and CD player.
Our initial attempts to audition gear left us feeling that the bass from the B-minor's was loose and tubby. We tried an all Ayre system (CX-7, K-5X, and V-5X) and did not feel that it was a good match to the Snells. This same set-up sounded outstanding with the store's Thiel 2.4s so we were surprised that it seemed to lack power/control for the Snells since the Thiels are notorious for needing power.
What associated gear have you found to work or not work with Snell B-Minor's?
