Innersound ESLs Amplifier

Brad, Roger will most likely take it back in a trade in when you are ready to upgrade. He is a wonderful man and takes care of his customers.
Best of luck!
p.s. most of my relatives are in Wilmington :)
small world,eh?

Wow...it is a small world! Are any of your relatives here audiophiles? :) Thanks for your responses Angela100!

You're right, if you want HUGE bass as a priority with Rock music or the like, then, yes, get the Inner Sound. I used the Inner Sound with the Quad 989's for a review and, yes, the only qualities that I found commendable in the amp are the same ones that you want. Given that, you might also want to look into some other speakers that, er, amplify the qualities you seek. I've seen other people on this site recommend Cerwin Vegas speakers. Try those! Good luck!

Asa's post seems to me a case in point in how different our listening experience is percieved and described. I found the Inner Sound excellent with chamber music on the self same speaker as well as on the Quad 63. I also liked it with Jazz and yes, there it had excellent dynamics. I am not saying that Asa, whose theoretical excursions on how we percieve, I like and highly respect, is in any way wrong. I'm just saying, that in my room and my system, my perception of the performing of the amp's in question was totally different as to where Asa but his emphasis. Just goes to show how right Angela is: Trust your own ears!
