Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ?


Any Gainclone or Class D or battery power alternatives available? I like the crazy good micro dynamics and rhythmic cohesion of the J2. My speakers are 93db full range. Also interested in AMP/DAC combinations like the devialet or NAD D7050 that meet the J2 performance (those 2 mentioned don't)

@kosst_amojan, have you heard the J2 or F6 ? I am using a Tannoy Turnberry which is 93db efficient. Not really very efficient but still happy with 20 watts SET. The question is, will the J2 sound too relaxed compared to F6 ?

It's not so much the efficiency that will dictate the character of how they work together. It's more the impedance and phase angle. I'm not familiar with those specs for those speakers. Stereophile did a good review of the J2 and compares it's performance with a variety of different speakers. I'd imagine the J2 would drive almost anything that does well with SETs. The F6 is known to have a tube-like sound as well. These aren't the easiest amps to find and audition so the best you can really do is read the best reviews you can and get familiar with the reviewers broader body of work to get a flavor for what they're really hearing. I've never heard either, but I'm pretty convinced the J2 won't be an amp I ever build because of how it handles very reactive loads like my Focals.
