Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???


The new Jadis JA30 Mk2 is now on my radar. Does anyone here have any experience with this amp...thoughts?

Would seem to be in the sweet spot of the Jadis line.

Here's the same Miles  Davis track as the JA30, Rememer my WBer has highs ens in mids, so bass will be lowered SPL.But 1 to 1, the JA30 will have more kick in bass, although the Defy with Mundorf caps offers all the bass i need for a  10x12x8.5 room.
The Mundorr caps brings in more bass.
These are the SESGO caps.

KT170 tubes
Now what.
 JA30's vs I-70
I think the new I-70 is going to set new standards for high fidelity tube amplification.
Not sure why Jadis does not install side handles for any of their amps over 60 lbs.
I-70 @ 80 lbs. 
My tech will install chrome  handles on the Defy.  @ 75 lbs.
w/o handles feels like over 100 lbs. 

Anyway, this vid gives a  hint at what the Defy is all about.

I’m trying to figure out which of JA80 Mk2, JA120 or the new JA170 would be the best match for my Thiel CS 3.7s paired with Jadis JPS2 linestage.

I miss too much tube sound even though I have tried many very high end SS integrated.
I will soon try to demo the Jadis DA88S with KT88 in my system just to have an idea of the Jadis sound on my Thiels.

If you Jadis specialists have any idea please share.

 

@thieliste  IME, the best sounding Jadis for your system is the one that will still drive your speakers and is the lowest powered model you can get away with. This is why i went with the JA 30Mk2's. Like most amps, it seems that the higher powered models sound less impressive than the lower powered models, assuming of course that one can drive their speakers correctly. If your Thiels need more power, I would think the JA80Mk2 would be a good match up. 

@daveyf Thanks for your input, yes the JA80Mk2 seems the sweet spot in the Jadis line up.

A very good Jadis dealer in Paris who used to be a Thiel dealer told me the JA80Mk2 would be up to the task.

Have you compared KT88 to KT150 in your JA30Mk2 ?
