| which valve amp for Forte III or Heresy III? Out of those only heard the Octave. Wonderful amp IMO! Also would have the balls for less efficient speakers should you ever try something different. | |
| Musical Fidelity Great values on the used market. Just picked up an A1008 for a great price. Sounds very similar to my tube amp but with bags of slam and control. I had a Parasound A21 a while back and liked it. The MF has cleaner highs and is more detailed but is... | |
| melody 2a3 mono amps Paradigms while fairly efficient are not an easy load. IMO and IME you are waaay underpowered for those speakers. What version are they | |
| Underpowered? Can you try out or borrow a beefy amp to tryout? | |
| Naim? I would really like to find someone local to let me hear maybe a supernait on my system. The brand just has such a following and I want to hear what all the fuss it about. West Mi. Any takers? | |
| Interesting Result of Comparison of Expensive and Budget Setups @mceljo Those Focals are sweet! Several months ago I traveled 6 hours round trip for some 836w s and they are amazing fun speakers. | |
| Interesting Result of Comparison of Expensive and Budget Setups @idolindian what was the playback level (db) of your experiment? Sorry if you mentioned it I missed it. | |
| Interesting Result of Comparison of Expensive and Budget Setups True more expensive does not automatically equal better performance. Usually it does to a certain extent especially at high or very low volumes but law of diminishing returns starts to set in very quickly. I would say 2k would be my lower limi... | |
| Integrated amp selection So guessing your budget is 1500 or so? Less? | |
| Underpowered? Wow that amp should be enough power I would think. Maybe the 683s have a bass “party” hump that you are used to? | |
| Cost-effective integrated I bought my Jolida 302CRC for $600 a few months ago. It’s pushing some 150lb speakers and manhandles them up to 90db or so. Tons of texture and tone and just great sounding. For under a grand I would look at Jolida if your into tubes. I have a M... | |
| Describe your preference in a single sentence I’m not in the stratospheric budget on price by any means but to get texture and warmth on some tracks seems really hard to do while still having the blazing speed and impact other tracks would require to be “perfect”. I think dsp will get more an... | |
| Describe your preference in a single sentence Fast, warm, sumptuous, impactful, detailed, easy highs that are still detailed as all get out. Really hard to get everything I want and maybe not even possible. Also want my old rock cds to sound like a million bucks! That’s not gonna happen witho... | |
| Naim? Oh I’m sure there are 35k amps that are worth it for some people. I’m just saying just seeing the specs and such of the Naim products I don’t see the value and am curious. Sounds like dalims4 was not too impressed. Ive seen a lot of pricey amps bu... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player I see you have the Cambridge transport in your list. I would expect the Cambridge top o the line CD player to sound similar if not identical to the cxc . I like mine for sure but would really like to try out the Pro-ject when funds allow. |
