I've had two pathi mono blocked for ten years and have been very happy with them. In fact, I just received a new modded Marantz cd player from Dan Wright and have been listening all day to the player through the Pathi. Great sound. Good choice for you and happy listening.
Pathos Classic One MKiII vs. my separates
I have been thinking of downsizing my rig by going back to a hybrid integrated amplifier. I currently use a Jolida Fusion preamp with a BEL 1001 MK V amp to drive a pair of Esoteric MG 10 speakers (87dB sensitive, 6 ohms nominal dropping to 3.8 somewhere below 2000ohms). I enjoy the Jolida/BEL combo, change is just for the downsize. I like the idea of tube pre/SS output of hybrid integrateds, having owned a Vincent in the past. The Pathos is currently on offer here on AG. Asking for thoughts from members with knowledge of the Pathos. Thanks.
