Solid state "backup" amp recommendation
Hi Semi, take a look at the CI Audio D200 monoblocks. $2299/pair. Available with XLR inputs. Dusty also has D100 monoblocks for $1699/pair. I have heard these, and they are clean, dynamic, and sweet. Outstanding customer service, too. |
Semi, I'm not going to beat this to death, but I use a VAC Phi 110/110 tube amp, and I listened to the 70wpc NuForce amps in my system...along with the D100 amps. I think the D100 are worth a listen if you are even a tiny bit interested. Channel Islands audio offers a money back guarantee (minus a 10% restocking fee). |
Semi, a couple of us keep mentioning CI Audio D100 or D200 and you keep repeating NuForce. Is there a disconnect here, or are you just dead set on trying only the NuForce if you decide to try a digital amp? The NuForce and CI Audio amps DO NOT sound the same so you cannot listen to one and assume "you've heard them all". IMO, if you want something that sounds similar to your BAT amp and is extremely musical you'll try the CI Audio. If you want something that has Uber clarity and dynamics, but to my ear is a bit cold sounding, you'll love the NuForce. Just my opinion, of course... |
