I do not have experience with BC integrated's but I do have a pair of BC 2's and they are amazing. Gilbert is among a few fine engineers in this industry who is not only innovative but also a really nice guy who will go the extra mile to help you in getting what you want out of your system and dollar.
Blue Circle amplifiers
Who all here have heard Blue Circle amplifiers? I've been searching for the ideal integrated for the past few months, and I like what I'm hearing about the Blue Circle Katlas, but don't have the ability to audition one. I've heard it's lively and natural and neutral in a "live, in the room" sort of way... sort of halfway between the BmPH and FtTH integrateds... also said to share characteristics of the BC 200 series of power amps...
I'd be grateful for any thoughts from folks who have heard any of these BC pieces listed above, and how they stack up versus the other high-end integrateds in the firmament (I'm thinking Karan I-180, LSA Signature, McIntosh 7000 in particular... also Plinius 9200, Jeff Rowland Concentra, Pass INT-150, Luxman 509, Naim Supernait, etc., etc.).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
