| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @atmasphere Thanks! "Ambient signature" sounds very good to me. I´ll remember that expression. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @atmasphere What do you call that in Hi-End audio language then ....if I may ask? Space? Spaciousness? Scale? ..... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @atmasphere "I always associated 'air' with ease and space in the highs. I've not heard of it used in the context that you do; probably a topic for another thread. " Pretend yo are in the Berliner Philharmonic concert hall....you listen to a big ... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @atmasphere Relaxed, yes (laid back, no) effortless presentation is probably what I call "air" in the music, as in a big concert hall. "even at higher volume levels"...then you need dynamics, otherwise it becomes a flat/compressed presentation. I... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @atmasphere It's not so much high volume I'm after but dynamics. I think too that an amp with around 100W and a good power supply is enough. I had a ML No.331 for some time and it was 100W and 100Kg (110 lbs). BIG power supply. I listen to a lot ... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @ozzy62 Thanks. I sure like to test one of those SMc-amps some day.... Who knows, there's maybe a couple here in Europe somewhere.... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @ozzy62 I got the message. I agree with you. This speakers are not the sensitive kind.... Maybe the A-48 is the minimum. I always try to buy amps that double the power at half the impedance (BIG power supplies). In my experience they sound best, h... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @atmasphere I know. Those Atmasphere class D are getting good reviews. The price is a bit high in Europe but i will consider them too. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... Thank you all! I think I get the picture. And in case you are curious about how much Marc Levinson ....or Harman Luxury Audio wants to fix a working but overheating right channel on my No.532, the price is 50.000 USD + the cost to send the amp to... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @toronto416 how did the sound improved with the Parcifals going from class AB to A? Would you recommend class A? | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation: 89 dB @ 1W @ 1m Power handling 18 - 350 W Nominal Impedance 8 ohm (minimum 4 ohm) | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... Those Michi sure are VERY powerful....but I am leaning more toward the Accuphase brand. toronto416: Nice company! I like their approach to business...no shareholders....no hurry. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... The Verity are not going anywhere ;) The amp may change, the preamp too....but not the speakers. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... Thanks toronto416! I think I can audition the A-48. | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... The A-300 is a beast....almost like the one I already have. The problem with these big expensive amps is that it is almost impossible to service them if they breake after the guaranty is gone. I don't have the money to send them around the world f... |
