I',m back, after just completely putting the GaN amp at a disadvantage. Its 100W at 8Ohm and I put one amp each channel whereby I took the midrange driver lead from my outboard crossover and put a full .7 Maggie on it rather than going to the 3.7i panel. My purpose was to find the line of the AGD and I did of course. Whats nice it the channel just stops music, when you turn it down it comes back. So you will not damage the amp or speaker with this kind of protection so thats cool. I would say that the Vivace monos would be perfect with speakers 90db and above. The articulation and quickness would be very well matched.
By the way, I'm not a typical "dealer" per se.. Im a manufacturer, founder of Verastarr AudioFoil Cables. Thats my main thing but when my users want to buy ancillary equipment, I like to be ready to serve them without skipping a beat, so if no client is asking, I'm not advertising gear whatsoever, unless its used or demo, I'm moving out.
George, isnt the Technics like $30K or something ?
Anyways I'll go back to testing the GaN with something its own size to be fair.. So like a Rowland 125 actually at $3K.. seems off but its the truth..
George, have you spent any time with Rowland amps ? Forget continuum, it seems to be a sore spot,(im sure there is more to that design we cant see and I'll share any info I get, plus If I needed to i could expose a myriad of other top level HEA companies using drek inside. Ive got to believe there is more to it because if youve ever met and spoken to Jeff, hes not the sheister , hustler type whatsoever, its quite the opposite. As a total kid/ newbie, I remember Jeff was the only HEA Icon who looked me in the eye and listened to what I was saying. To this day he still does this for anyone that speaks with him, which shows great respect for his fellow human being. I also know Mark Levinson and God Bless him hes got a different way, 100% entertainment for me to watch, but Mark is from the streets of NYC, Jeff is up in the mountains.. so you catch my drift... You do however make an interesting point.. I will get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile I'm happy to ship one of Jeffs amps for you to try out in your rig, I am a real picky SOB and they are very well built and great sounding.
All the best.!
