I use a Caspian int and all I can say its one of the best all around amps I had listened to. Comparing it to Naim, Musical Fidleity, Sim, Creek and others. I found to be very musical, detailed and natural sounding with pretty good imaging and soundstage. It will be more of what the kandy is. I have a problem with amps making my B&W's P5's sound harsh and bright so with NHT's being a bit bright the caspian would tone it down. I have to say its was quite an experience listening to Caspian compared to the others.
Roksan Integrateds
I've been on a crazy search for some form of pre/power combo or suitable integrated for my NHT 2.5i's.
I've looked at all kinds of items. Some were out of my budget, which, of course, are the items that I like most.
The other day I heard a product that is the absolute lowest priced of all of my options - the Roksan Kandy mkIII. I didn't listen for a long time, but I can say that it sounded pretty good with my speakers. The only thing I found was that it could have been a bit more refined and airy sounding.
I'm wondering if the Roksan Caspian might be an improvement in these areas over the Roksan Kandy III.
I had never heard the Kandy before the other day and I had always discredited it b/c it is below the range (price wise) of what I am looking to purchase.
My speakers are NHT 2.5i's (going to keep them)
Source is Rotel 971 transport w/ MSB 1/2 Nelson link III (keeping this source as well)
Would the Caspian power the NHT's to the same degree as the Kandy III? What other improvements can I expect with the Caspian?
thanks
