Big Karan amps

Thank yoy Gary,

You can't install two sets of Bocchino spades. Does Caran binding posts accept bananas?

If so Bocchino bananas or WBT NextGen bananas will work fine - however, many audiophiles do not like bananas because their grandmothers told so and you will have to try to accomodate two sets of spades.

Regarding your question: "The Bocchino spades I am not familiar with, but did look them up. They look very impressive, is the sound commensurate?"

The answe is yes, yes and yes - particualrly in low frequency area. My comparison was only with WBT NextGen Silver locking bananas and spades. Be aware that supplier is not highly reliable and its a hell to deal with....but worth it. VERY EXPENSIVE TOO !!!!!

Thanks again

You are very welcome. The Karan will accept bananas. There is no option for a second set of binding posts.

Take care

I have the Karan Acoustics M 1200 monoblocks on my system page, if anyone cares to take a look. I believe this is one of only two pairs in North America.

I have the Karan 450 which I am using with Hovland HP100. I find that this is really not that matching. Anyone has good experiences with other preamplifiers with the 450?

I have also tried the Karan Ref and find that too analytical. Prefer a tube pre to go with the 450.

Does anyone tried the Karan amps driving MBL speakers, in particular the MBL 111?
I'm also considering MBL 9007 and Plinius SA Reference amps.

Any suggestion?
