Which integrated amp for Talon Khorus?

At that pricepoint, I would recommend checking out the Creek 5350SE, at 85wpc, $1495 new, about $1150 used, Stereofool rated Class A. Check out the following link for the review by Bob Reina (who uses it as a reference) and measurements by John Atkinson. I use it to drive small but powerhungry Alon Petites, and the sound makes me wonder about my unbelievably good sounding, far more expensive main system (ARC VT100MKII, Rogue 99 Magnum, Alon V MKII, various digital sources). Best of luck!

Bigboy if you are trying out the MD 208 and are getting poor bass response I would question how you have the speakers set up.

I had the MD 208 in the showroom with the Peregrines and we got excellent bass response. It was not earth shattering but good and the Peregrine's are a much more difficult load than the Khorus.

Do you have the speakers toed in almost right at you? The distance from the back wall is critical. Make sure you do not have the rear ports plugged. You only plug the ports if you were using the old Roc not with the new Roc. I realize you are not using a sub or the bass would not be an issue.

The Alchemist Product 8 integrated is very good their website is www.alchemist.uk.com. But the magnum that you are evaluating is very good assuming that it is broken in and if your budget is $1500 it must be used so it should be.

You are welcome to call me and I will discuss the set up of the speakers. 360 874 1201 Stewart

The Magnum MD208 is brand new and not fully boken-in yet.
But I don't think it will be that big a difference for the bass. Am I right?
I will try the Plinius 8200 on the Khorus next week, hope it will save the bass.

Is the Khorus broken in? All the feedback I have heard is that the Khorus takes a very, very long time to burn in. I have heard that many owners who were unhappy with the Khorus sold them a short time after buying them not knowing how long they require to burn in, and burning in makes all the difference.

I bought the Khorus used, I don't know it is broken in yet.
So, I am in the dark.
Don.
