| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Hey Joe, Wish I could answer your question about how much current the AGD amps drop into different loads. However, I have never seen that spec on any of their different amp models, As we both know Coda has some of the highest ratings of current l... | |

| LTA Ultralinear Plus Integrated vs. Pass Labs XA25/EAR 868pl how is the tone and timbre of the two amps. I love the xa25 and found it to have a warm sound but with fast dynamics and resolution. It sounded like real instruments. Is that your experience and does the LTA sound natural in tone and timbre? L... | |
