.....i mixed sound for a Punk / Rockabilly band. ( pretty much dominated by two stacked 4x10 Ampeg cabinets. )...lets just say the stacked LaScala PA struggled to keep up . so i may have an inkling of what it sounds like... And i listen to REM and what i might call polite punk Talking heads..But not with your speakers...and I like Bob, and Toots, and some obscure stuff that comes over Bluesound Radio out of Kingston....so I dunno, you can judge spitballing as you say.... amps that I have heard that do well with that sort of thing in my various system or systems I get exposure to.. Odyssey Stereo amp ( really a steal ) running Vandersteen 2ce sig Van Alstine 30 watt tube ( Dyna ST70 on steriods ) running Cornwall MC240 running Apogee Stage now Vandersteen 1ci, love Burnin and Heads 77 on this BTW have fun |
I can heartily second the vote for a Hegel h160 or a h300. Both have the Hegel house sound and plenty of current and grip to spare. I used the h300 on a set of focal 807v as well. Superb imaging and mid bass was extremely full. Just one point on the h160, it actually has 3 analog inputs not 2. The ht input can be configured as a normal extra analog input from the remote. I found the inbuilt DAC on the Hegel were more than adequate and considering these 3800 and 5500 new units can now be had for 1700 to 2200 is a killer deal. |
