Post Number: 168 Registered: Jun-05 | got curious about this amp the other day(thanks art) and brought it home form the shop today for an overnight stay. i'm REALLY enjoying it. dont ask me for differences between this amp and my arcam a85, at least not yet, i'm just busy enjoying it. well i will say, smooth, full, weighty, warm for the moment. those of you who own the amp, i'm curious what speakers you running and what volume you able to achieve. reason i ask is that my ears are pretty sensitive at the moment and i cant crank it too loud to see what it's limits are. (i'm asuming i might be able to do that one day) i dont plan to have parties with the amp, but this is my only slight reservation. i did turn it up to 80db and that was exactly 9 o'clock on the dial, and to 85 for a wee bit(10 on the dial) and i'm very happy with this, possibly even for the long term. i'm using 86(?) db/w 4 ohm dynaudio focus 140's. but should i ever desire more output i'm wondering what would work? spendor s5e possibly? i've got the night to decide, but it may be out with the old and in with the new. cheers b. one more question. with an amp such as this that has no pre-out, is there any way to achieve bass management when using a sub? |
