you have very nice gear, but i do note that your dynaudios are quite inefficient at 85db and your amp is rated at only 25w/ch, though pass puts out more real-world power. i'd be looking a more powerful, >100w amp--others will weigh in on the best in your price range
Upgrade to sound quality of Dynaudio Heritage speakers
Folks,
My current system consists of Ideon EOS DAC/Streamer (I haven't pulled the trigger on their Time re-clocking unit yet), Dynaudio Heritage Special stand speakers, two REL S 510 subs driven with a PASS Labs INT 25. I'm thinking I can get more out of the Heritages if I upgrade the amp and was looking for some input for a piece of nice gear in the $10K-$12K range that would upgrade the overall sound of my system. I like to listen to rock/jazz, etc. My listening room is 15' x 27'. Any thoughts or suggestions?

What specific improvements are you looking for? Here are three integrateds just fyi I’d have to think would be a significant upgrade and certainly worth a look. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650194713-vitus-audio-sia-025-mk-ii/ https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650176303-gryphon-diablo-300-with-dac-and-phono-stage/ https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbcb3g-vitus-audio-ri-101-solid-state |
Good ideas @soix. OP, there is also an 032 listing for a beautiful Burmester integrated for sale on Audiogon for $12ish. I have an older version of this and the sound and power are amazing. I also have Burmester amp and pre-amp in my main listening area. The dealer who has this listed also has Vitus and Gryphon previously owned available as well. Good luck and let us know how you make out. |
