thanks guys,i will be buying used on audiogon,and will have about $ 2,200 to work with,used prices for MF2500 A and PASS x 150 are about the same,my room is 15x20x12 all wood,im pretty sure either amp would be a step up from my Anthem PVA2,i am leaning toward the CJ,could you guys elaborate on the CJs bass ,im not a bass fiend,but i like to have the slam there when its on a recording,thanks for responses,also how can i be sure im getting the "A" version of the MF 2500? |
Czbbcl,your answer along with the others is helping me get a better perspective ,,,thanks |
|
this might be a silly question,is a MF2500 thats been factory upgraded to the A version as good as a newer MF2500A?? |
thanks for all the responses!Txp1,i put money down on the CJ at Spearit sound ,should have it by or before Jan. 13,Talon4,i listen to a lot of diff music,no rap,,my preamp was built by a guy that works for VAC now,he said it was built with SS amplification in mind,speakers are studio 100 V2,,for more info please click on my system,,i like ,thanks again, |
hello Txp1,should be here by tue.my nephew is getting my anthem pva2, |

my CJ MF2500A was delivered safe and ontime by UPS!Chuck,i have not had a bad exp. with my CJ,got it Tue. and have not turned it off since,i thought id wait at least 200hrs. before forming any opinions,,,ill post a short review in a few days.Tpk123,dont be sorry ,i asked for the opinions of my fellow audiogoners ,and i thank everyone for their responses,,including yours!Chuck,how long did yours take to break in? |
hello Chuck,going on 2 weeks now,the last couple of days have been great,i ran the amp pretty hard during the weekend,it sounds great now,the first week had me wondering if i made a mistake,,harsh and thin with no definition in the lower reaches,,the extra power really has brought my speakers to life,,even at lower volumes everything sounds so full,,now i have to decide on a preamp upgrade!thanks again for all the info! |
hello Chuck,i ordered a Supratek Chardonney,,i was sold on this preamp from the very long Preamp Deal of the Century thread,,not to mention the resale value, |
hello Chuck, i just wanted to tell you how much im enjoying my CJ MF2500A,since my last post my amp seems to have settled in even more,,,its sounding very good!!!thanks again for all the info you guys gave me,, |
