I agree with roberjerman I have a First Watt F7 that I LOVE. But initially was powering my 87 dB sensitivity MarkAudio Sota Cesti Bs and at 20 wpc I had to crank it up to get semi-decent volume. My Rethm Maarga at 98 dBs makes a HUGE difference. Now I turn volume to a 3-4 and it is louder by far than the 87 dB efficiency speakers could muster at full blast. I think if you like to rock Floyd, you will either need to get different speakers or stick to a more 'powerful' amp.
Reco for a low power amp to try
I am just curious about the low powered (those 5W to 12W per channel) amps and how they sound.....
Don't know any retailer in my area that would lend me one for a weekend but if I was to just buy something here and in worst case re-sell here....what would you recommend for starters ?
Hopefully something under $2,000 used....so at first I get a sense of what 5Watts sound like....
My main concern is that I do listen to lot of prog rock (ex; Pink Floyd) and I do like to up the volume sometimes...
PS: If you happen to live in the NJ area and would be so kind to allow me to try one out - I would be so thankful
