| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Ishkabibil said he was mistaken. I’m not changing my speakers. I love them. | |
| Cconfused... Since this was my quote I’d like to disagree with accuracy and realism being the same. This is particularly true when music isn’t being played back at ear bleeding volumes. A great example is the upright bass. If you’ve ever heard a bass in person... | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Are we talking about the 1979 mofi? I have a pretty clean copy of it and am looking forward to comparing to the new one when it arrives from acoustic sounds. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @ps where? I live in Campbell. I don’t know if many shops around that carry hifi equipment. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k thanks, @mrc4u You guys are a bad influence. I originally started thinking I was going to get the M900u which is only like 15k. Then, I started debating the Boulder 1160, at 27k. Now I've got the 2160 and Gryphon on my radar. I probably do need to... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I’m not sure about all of this chatter about how my speakers don’t work with tubes but maybe they will if I get the right amp or whatnot. I said I didn’t want a tube amp. I’ve got a tube line stage. That’s enough tube for me. Looking forward to tr... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Thanks @gavman even a used 2160 is likely out of my price range, given they are around 60k new. Is that really true that the 1160 is 1/2 the 2160? There is little detail on the 1160 but it seemed like a class AB amp where the 2160 is class A? Anot... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Simaudio 860A v2 might be interesting to try. As for the Arcam and Schiit, I’m assuming you’re just a troll. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I’m in SoCal pretty regularly. Suggestion on a place to hear the D’Agostino? | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Thanks all for the suggestions. I’ve added them to my list to listen. I’ll need to research where I can hear the D’Agostino. As for why not the speakers.... no. And while appreciate the cheap Class D zealots, I’m not interested. I’m also not going... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I misidentified the Boulder. I meant to say the 1160. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Good one, I’ll see if I can find the D’Ag. Room acoustics are quite good. Relatively small room, vaulted ceilings and lots of acoustic paneling and bass traps. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Appreciate the feedback! My concern with the X350.8 is (1) WC didn’t like it much (2) no idea where I can audition one. Nonetheless you’re right that if I can find one to try, I should. I tend to not go much over 40-100W when playing loud but the ... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k As for WC I asked in his thread and confirmed the Luxman should be my top choice so I will definitely be listening to that one and the Boulder. I believe the all the ones I listed except Pass Labs I can audition at Music Lovers Audio. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k It seems like the weak link in sound staging, speed, and definitely bass. Overall I don’t have anything against the sound out of the McIntosh, but it’s a little polite. |
