I have not found the Dussun V8i lacking in finesse, sure you do get the chest slamming bass but I get a huge soundstage with detail too. I listen to mainly jazzy beats/Latin/percussion on Cd and Vinyl but also a good smattering of rock and classical from our excellent BBC stations like Radio 3 and Radio 2 which have some wonderful late night eclectic shows like Late Junction and World Music programmes etc. My speakers are Tannoy 15" HPD's. Like always, it depends on the original recording quality, pressings, mix etc. Previous amps have been Naim 135/52 pre, ATC 50 Actives, Chord 1200c Int so plenty of good comparisons. Pound for pound, buck for buck the V8i will take some beating.
Musical fidelity A5 or Dussun V8I integrated?
Has anyone had a chance to compare these two integrateds? I am on audiogon every day and have yet to see a Dussun V8I for sale. Are they that good that no one is selling them? I have a Tyler Linbrook signature speaker system. My room is not too large (12 x 15) but like to listen to loud music on accasion. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
