Speaking of an upgraded 8k amp sounding very close to their 17k version: I give you the CJ5 vs the CJ8.Had the 5's for about 5 years and owned the 8's for 3 years.Meaning I owned both at the same time for 3 years.(Just sold the 5's)--System for most of that time was Audiomecca dac. CAT3 for pre. Synergetic active X box.and Montana EPS with Celtic Silver to the speakers. Lots of big buck cords--2 king Cobras---2 AudioMagic Stealth conditioners.---I had some big buck cryoed tubes.
I swear I could take the best tubes;stick them the 5's-- yup,right up there with the 8s.
On to why the amps don't come with the best,whatever feet or cords---- Amp mfg's put their resources on the inside.--I guess Carma might be the exception.
