Comments on Cal Audio Icon II MK


An older design by cal audio but still good budget systems? Smooth with good upper bass?

this is an old posting, but if you're still checking... until recently i used a cal icon mkii (not the powerboss version) with my cj mv55/pv10al combo. my speakers were klipsch kg4. i was very, very happy with the cal. before i bought it, i tested it against the rega planet and a couple of music bank offerings from nak. the cal was smoother, with a better low end. i also beleived it to be more reliable (a buddy has had some troubles with his nak). i've since replaced most of my system, including the cal (in favor of a wadia). i pulled the cal out recently and put it head to head with the wadia. a totally unfair comparison--but, the cal held up just fine. i'd say the icon mkii is still a great machine at a great price.
