Experience with AES - 25 SuperAmp


Thanks to those responding to related question. Very helpful. Again current system is CJ Premier 3/MV-52 driving Proac 1SCs listening to classical & jazz on a WTTT & WTTA.
Would appreciate feedback on the Cary (AES) AES25 superamp.
Thanks Dave

i just bought a pair of ProAc 1SCs to go along with my AE 25 Superamp DJH two weeks ago. So far I have been extremely pleased. I had initially auditioned the ProAcs with a CJ gear (not entirely sure of the model, I believe MV60 ) at the dealer so I have some point of comparison. To my ears, the superamp is tonally and harmonically richer sounding than the CJ without being overly euphonic. Instrumental timbres are captured beautifully. The CJ seemed to have a wider soundstage and imaging was sharper, however I believe this is more an effect of my poor room acoustics than the amps as the soundstaging is supposedly one of the Superamp's strong suits. I also found the bass to be more articulate and defined with the CJ. I'm hoping this will improve as my speakers break in properly. The folks at Cary and Dennis Had are fantastic people to deal with.
