| Can you recommend an integrated amp 2K or less for Golden Ear Triton 2's? Integrated amps under 2000 that come to mind:Rogue Audio Sphinx Peachtree Nova 150Schiit RagnarokCambridge AudioRotel A14Cambridge Audio CXA81 | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you Thanks for the feedback, but the prologue's are a bit too old to compare with.Maybe the newer PL owners are so enthralled by their systems they don't need forums! | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you No Primaluna preamp owners eh? | |
| 100W, 200W, or 300W? I've listened to B&W speakers a few times and I always come away feeling they are too bright and edgy in the treble region. That said, Luxman would be a good choice for amplification as they tend to be smoooooth. | |
| McIntosh C2700 or Luxman L38uC @d2girlsYou comments are misinformed. There are tube amps that add noise and distortion, but there are plenty of newer tube amps that do no such thing. Look at Rogue Audio, Luxman, Backert Labs, Primaluna. There are so many modern examples of grea... | |
| Luxman vs Pass Labs I wish luxman would make the a Power Amp only version of the 590AXII so it could be had at a cheaper price...All their SS power amps are class AB. | |
| Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh. @dimbhakaThanks for listening! Your comments are much appreciated. I guess I just need a bigger room... | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? You could e-mail Pass Labs and ask them specifically. But I don't think that's too demanding a load for the pass amp. | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? The .8 line is very highly regarded. I would imagine it sounds very similar to the 250.8, while being a bit less powerful. Look for the 250.8 reviews and just know the 150.8 probably cannot handle dynamic swings quite the same way with harder to d... | |
| Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh. @dimbhakaExcellent! Are you experiencing any harshness in the treble? I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the following recording: "Hate it Here" by Wilco. The lead guitar comes in after the first verse and is still a little hot so... | |
| Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh. @dimbhakaAny updates on the Luxman/Spendor combo? I've got a pair of D7s and have really been eyeing Luxman lately.Make sure you get at least 200 hours on the Spendors. They can sound a bit bright/lean out of the box. | |
| Goldenear Triton One R vs. PSB T3. vs. Spendor D7... The hot tweeter stuff is a bit overblown I think with the D7. I've owned a pair since February and it really has mellowed out over time. However, if a recording is bright to begin with it will not soften the blow. A bright recording will sound bri... | |
| Who has heard the new Pass XA25? @jayctoy Just seeing this comment. Thanks for the info!@wlutke Good to know. I think the xa25 will definitely work in my system in terms of power. However I've been reading that the xa25 can make speakers sound more forward in the midrange. I'm ... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only Scratch that - a super integrated like the below fits all your requirements. https://www.musicalfidelity.com/products/encore/m6-encore-225 | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only If I were you I'd go Luxman 509x. Right at the bottom of your range. |
