I had the A5. It had a lot of power but the sound quality was not there. It was very thin and solid state sounding. You don't list either one of these, but if it was my choice, I would choose either a Creek Destiny or an Ayre 7. I have had many integrateds around their respective price points and nothing even came close to either sound wise. Both units have passive line stages which is a huge advantage at this price point. (The Creek has an active section as well.) They are the type of products that you keep for a long time and don't get the urge to upgrade.
Need help with an amp for the Gallo 3.1s
Hi guys, recently bought a used pair of the Gallo 3.1s and while my little SP3 amp does play music through them, it really doesnt control the bass like I know a more powerful solid state can. So, I have sold (pending) the SP3 and have enough to buy either an integrated or pre/power amp around the 2-2.5k mark.
Amps I have been thinking about:
Plinius 9200 (used)
W4S Integrated SP1000 or 500
Musical Fidelity A5/A5.5
Musical Fidelity (used) Trivista 300
Krell 400xi (used)
Krell S-300i (used)
Bel Canto S300iU
Advice? Any suggestions on what would pair the best and really bring the woofers to life?
