Currently driving Kanta 1s (acquired last week) using NAD M33 and am somewhat happy with the results but wonder if there are better matches to squeeze more out of Kantas. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Greatly appreciated. I'll see if I can hear one in Chicago somewhere. Was contemplating MA8900 for looks and auto transformers, as my dealer has a used/mint one, but claims this is worse than my M33...
I started looking at McIntosh MA8900 (could get a deal on few month's old piece), and few other amps all which are so deep in size I couldn't fit them in my BDI cabinet. Then I looked at Accuphase and only 16.61 inches. Unfortunately, no dealers in Chicagoland I could find that sell these. Search continues...
Anything else I should look into? Go back to Hegel H390? 😉
I finally heard Luxman with these Kantas 1 and was simply blown away. I was loving the Luxman L-550AXII (pure class A amp at 20W at 8ohms). Dealer had Luxman, Focal (Kanta 1) and many other brands. If I were to go with Luxman 550, I will need a DAC and a streamer, right? I have a Roon Core already.
My budget is up to 5k. Need to be able to have TV connected to the DAC for audio.
