Which amp for Def's
Here's one to consider and you will have channels to spare . 7 channels x 200 into 8 ohms and 300 wpc into 4 ohms for $1799.00. At 90 lbs you may need a sturdy amp stand if not putting it on the floor.There's a thirty day money back guarantee ..I don't think you could lose. Model 770 Good Luck! |
Yeah B&K wouldn't hurt you any with the Def's. Still, dolar per dolar, the 2000's do great with Parasound gear! Forgiving, fullbodied, dynamic (yes, 200w would help your dynamics for midrange and treble), warm(which mates well with the Def's, which I've sold for years, as well as Parasound, and others), slightly forgiving on top(the Def's can be a tad bright/shrill on top sometimes, and the Parasound mates well here also). Other options for cheep are considering Outlaw Separates for a song!. More expensive to consider are Anthem, then Sunfire and Classe. For the more essoteric, tubes actually sound great on the Def's!!!...no kidding! |
Well if you would spend that kind of money on a pre/pro, you'd have alot of options! Do you mind mix-and-matching? If so, yes, you could do something like an AVM20/Parasound HCA2200 combo. Or, you could stay with the Parasound 2500u preamp and keep it in the family. However, I wuold probably keep it all Anthem for the cosmetics and chemistry of it! Alot of options indeed, as you can consider at your budget, Class amp and pre/pro, Sunfire combo, Aragon combo, all the way down to Outlaw, and still have good sonics! YEah, if it were me, I'd try the AVM20(partially because I'm interested in what it might sound like), and maybe try the amp. You can always compare with others, and sell what you don't want. Good luck |
