Boulder 1060 vs. Goldmund 28.4 for Eidolons

So, based on inputs from Audiogon, I have narrowed my choices to these for now. the question is will 28.4 have enough juice to drive eidolon. Also, since I cannot yet find used boulder on the net, the price difference is quite significant. Any advice would be welcome.

Hey,

I would take Goldmund 28.4 they are my favorite amps. Also many folks will say that 29 is better. I wholeheartedly disagree. Perfect companion for 28.4 is 27+ you must use GOLDMUND pre otherwise you will never hear how GOLDMUND sounds. They will be perfect for you Avalons make sure that you use own Goldmund-lineal , Siltech or PAD wires. Anything less would be uncivilized.

I for one believe that GOLDMUND is much better than Boulder product.

GOOD LUCK

goldmund is much better than boulder?

i doubt that anything is "much better" than boulder. i've heard their $35k preamp...you might find "different" but you won't find "better." let's be a little realistic.

Well... I don't know about Boulder but Goldmund's new gear isn't the most reliable. Don't get me wrong, the Goldmund stuff sounds incredible... but after 3 trips back to Switzerland to be fixed... you can guess what happened... Furthermore, buying Goldmund without dealer support is a very bad idea.
