| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? I like a detailed and transparent sound with air and the ability to easily to pick out the location of the instruments/singers. Sounds like Pass Labs :) Go and audition the INT-25, don't let the specs fool you. Just listen and see for your self | |
| Sonus Faber speakers @mogelsvs I run Olympica 2 with Pass INT-25. It have plenty of power and never run out of steam. Pass Labs - Sonus Faber is the best combination I've ever heard. I've previously owned McIntosh and ARC | |
| Paolo Tezzon has left Sonus Faber @alexatpos I never had the chance to listen to the old franco models execpt once (cremona m) but that was very limited experience. I'm curious what magic older sonus faber had that the new models hadn't | |
| Large speaker recommendation Why don't you go with cremonese from Sonus Faber? Once you settle on Sonus faber everything else will sound disappointing to you | |
| Moon AKA Simaudio announces new line of speakers. These speakers have some impressive spes, like 89dBs sensitivity for a speaker of that size. Wondering how do they accomplished that | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Primare makes some great Class D amplifiers, they do not have the coldness some class D amplifiers might have. Indeed they sound liquid, have the clarity and the black bacground. Aavaik makes some great class D amplifiers as well but at a much hig... | |
| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated Holo Audio Spring 3 - measures awesome, sounds even awesome | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. Pathos makes best hybrid amolifiers imo. Very musical, intimate, engaing, astonishing micro dynamics. Very good at very low volume as well | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? As others suggested, give the amp minimum 300+ hours before you decide. I'm saying this from direct experience with the INT-25 which I still own and I think this is the best amp money can buy under 10k. I was also "meh" at the beginning and was no... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers I've owned Dynaudio Contour 30i and jumped to Sonus Faber Olympica range. The SFs offer much better midrange very relaxed and yet very detailed high frequencies and good low end definition. Go and audition serafino or amati tradition. I'm sure you... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. I will also recommend Sonus Faber speakers. Don't worry for HF resolution and details, they have developed new technology DAD (Damped apex dome tweeter) which allows them for very high HF extension without distortion. With that in mind, you will h... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I would go with Pass INT-25. Its best integrated amplifier pass ever made. New industrial transistors (700A 2 per channel), huge heatsinks, heavily biased into class A, the simplest pre-amp topology (Wayne masterpiece). Herb Reichardt from stereop... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier 100 dBs SPL is painfully loud. If this is the case it points to a distortion problem causing the pain, unless you have hyperacusis. Painfully loud is metaphoric saying for very loud, otherwise the thread may had "My amp distorts at high volu... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier Yep, I agree | |
