I recently (very recently…like a week or two) switched up my system to more efficient speakers and a little Dennis Had designed "Fire Bottle" single ended 12 watt per side amp. A surprisingly dynamic little amp with more than enough juice and maybe the best sound I've come up with over decades of various hifi items. The damn amp just seems so small for what it puts out…amazing.
Decware and Zu. A pairing made in heaven
I received my Decware SE34I.5 integrated SET amp to day...
...it simply blew me away. I have Zu Omen Def Mk ii's with the Radian upgrades. It drives them effortlessly. The bass is sublime, the soundstage is huge, everything has a fleshy 3 dimensional quality to it, and the voices, I mean they might as well be in the room. But the thing that I wasn't prepared for was the dynamics. I put Dave Brubeck's Take Five on and the drum solo was so real sounding, so "there" - it's the bass I've been searching for. I have to say job well done Mr. Deckert, job well done!
