| Power Amp for Extrema S High-Quality solid state (never tubes with sound factory speakers) they are designed to be used with fast electronics. I had great result with Jeff Rowland 8Ti and Spectral DMA-180 but nothing came close to Goldmund Mimesis 29....best sound I have... | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less My favorite or best amps under 10K are as follows: Goldmund 28+,Spectral DMA-150S2,Jeff Rowland 10,Mcintosh MC 352,Mcintosh MC 602,Ayre V-1X,Pass X-350...go and listen :-) | |
| Krell knocked off Jeff Rowland Dkuipers,I was refering to new integrated CONCERTO just came out at $ 4000 est,it will not replace the Concerta II...... | |
| Krell knocked off Jeff Rowland There is a new JRDG integrated amp called concerto for $ 4000 estimated....looks like that chassis is from model 10 amp. I bet that in few months this new amp will be a talk on town. Jeff Rowland ...still the best | |
| Jazz Recommendations Ok Boys&Gals 6 best(most important) Jazz albums IMHO are; John Coltrane " A love Supreme" Miles Davis "Kind OF Blue" Miles Davis "Sketches of Spain" Cannonball Adderley "Somethin' Else" Dave Bruback "Time Out" Charles Mingus "Ah Um" Please, fe... | |
| Speaker cable for SF electa amator Well it all depends on your taste ,but "Sound Factory" is using Van den hull internally. I think the use" The Wind" I hope it helps...... Tommy | |
| Best solid-state amp made anywhere Burmester for best solid state...no way you are reading too much of TAS :D. Jeff Rowland is better in every department,Spectral too, however truly the best is GOLDMUND. | |
| B & W Signature 30 Best At Any Price? In Europe the #30 cost only $ 8000 same as 802N and I heard them both the 802N win hands down. Overall there are better speakers for the same money...just my 0.02 Jack | |
| Best used class A amp with Wadia 860x Yo Hillyg I am not a dealer, but I have personal experience with your speakers I had Ascent,Eclipse and Eidelon and they sound (if you like warm.rich sound) the best with Jeff Rowland which are also possible the finest solid state electronics in t... | |
| Best used class A amp with Wadia 860x Accuphase amp will not drive well Eidelon,besides they are way overpriced in US. A50V costs in Japan $ 9000 and used they go for 5K . I 'd recommend Jeff Rowland 8Ti with Avalons.. Good luck Tommy | |
| Is the Rowland Model 12 sound that good? JRDG model 12 is that good, sure it is. However at this price point JRDG is facing stiff competition . There is a handful of amplifiers which are current state of the art and are "fighting" for that title "best of the best" such as; Spectral DMA-3... | |
| Best solid-state amp made anywhere I had Levinson 33H and did up grade to Jeff Rowland 8Ti which was more my cup of tea (it was a big step) and now I have Goldmund Mimesis 29 in two years it was at factory only once ;-) In my system Goldmund is superior to the amps above. just my 0.02 | |
| Best Subwoofer(s) for SF Guarneri Homage I used to have Guarneri and I did try REL sub and I did get rid of it in 2 months...sure you get better bass and bottom but you will loose all that magical midrange and Guarneri's are about mids....who knows maybe they will work in your setup. :-) | |
| Reccomend power amp for Virgo"s I do agree with responses above, but would add Cary 805C and on the solid state side the best I've heard was Goldmund mimesis 28 amp. Good luck |
