what happened to Cary 500MB?

Wow, two for two! Ajackson1, what speakers do you have?

This is an old thread, but I wonder how the 500MB stack up to the Spectron.

There are two pairs of 500MB's on Audiogon now, both at $4000 and both already sold. How much power do they draw at idle, does anyone know?

Funny you should say that about Paradigm Actives. I heard a pair, think it was the 40s, at a show a fews back and was really impressed.

I have Dynaudio Confidence C1s but am thinking that I may try out the new Magnepan 1.7 later this year, so I'm on the lookout for an amp that will serve them both well without costing a fortune. Spectron had been near the top of my to-try list, but now...

I did email Cary and got a quick response. They still make the amp and say that any of their dealers can get it.

I thought that with impedances, you want a >10:1 ratio, which you would certainly get with 10K ohm: 400 ohm.
