Interesting, especially since the Spectron (which the Dunlavy folks have used as their demo amp) is rated at 1 Kilowatt with burst capabilities above that!
They're comparisons were that the aloia had a better soundstage,deeper and more precise.A more complete sound with great bass. With a 30 watt amp this is contradictory to most people's recommendations.
My original plan was to biamp the Dunlavy's. The crossover point is 150HZ so you still need solid power on top. I actually had a Bryston electronic crossoverand tried it but it added too much harshness to he sound. several I had the VT-200 on hand with the Bryston 7BST but the Melos opportunity came along and I went with that and sold the other amps.
I received the Aloia's aweek ago and was absolutely floored on how they controlled this speaker. One amp was enough to get unbelievable sound. Bi-amping added a touch bigger soundstage. I sold the Wolcotts immediately and realised what an awful match these were.
