| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Honestly, I'd try the JR 925's instead of the Black. Or, try both - one at a time :-) I'm sure the belcanto black would have tremendous bass. What I would worry about - is the bass dry, how are the highs - are they too tight - not providing en... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross - I agree about the Plinius - I'm not looking for another amp. I just mentioned the XPA 3, because I had it at one time and I was wondering if others hard heard the amp - especially since Emotiva amps entered the discussion.Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Has anyone tried the Gen 3 of the Emotiva XPA amps? I had the XPA-7 Gen 3 for a while, and it was a nice amp. Plenty of power for sure, but not as full sounding as I like. I now have a Plinius Odeon (thanks to the recommendation from whitecamaross... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @auxinput:I'll keep this short, since this is whitecamaross' amp thread. I had the Krell S1200U 3D, and it was my second favorite processor for both movies and 2ch, when no EQ is applied. First would still have to be the Theta CBIV. With RoomP... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! By the way, ATI/Theta now also owns Datasat.Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross - have you had a Theta Casablanca IV or IVa?@corvette01 - the Theta CB IV is my favorite processor (have not tried the IVa), and the McIntosh is my second favorite. I've also had Krell, Arcam, Marantz, Onkyo for HT. Back when I ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I'm curious as well about the ATI AT5X... class d amps as well. I'm hearing great things about them. The ATI AT54X... amps are rated for 500 watts/channel, while the AT52X... amps are 200 watts/channel. I'm thinking about trying an ATA AT543.... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Well said! It's unfortunate that you have to explain yourself. I don't understand why lalitk felt like the comment was necessary. I think most other folks here appreciate your comparisons and experiences that you've shared. Plus, you've even g... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @fsonicsmith - Look at 4 and 5 posts above your post :-)Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I just heard that Classe Audio closed their doors...Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebookYou will like your new Odeon - I received one too with the Ultimate Upgrade about a month or two ago. Dynamics like you would not believe and great transparency. It will make you rethink your cables and other eq... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross,Exciting news about the Luxman gear! I'm still curious though what you would think of the higher powered Pass Labs XA gear in your system, especially with a Pass Labs preamp. Loving the journey!By the way, I have my Plinius Odeon... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Are you doing 2 channel with the 205 or just using hdmi?Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Just received an upgraded Plinius Odeon on a pallet today, and I will hook it up this weekend. Looking forward to listening to it!Special thanks to whitecamaross for this thread and for the PM's!Dave | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Is that based upon only listening to the XA30.8? If so, then you may want to try a more powerful XA***.8 (not .5) to see if it's still the case. I think the gap will be greatly narrowed.Dave |
