Sim Audio I-5 vs. new I-3---sonic differences?


Has anyone out there had a chance to compare these two integrateds? The I-3 looks like a good buy if it compares well with the I-5, but intuition tells me the I-3 will give up something to its more expensive sibling. Thanks.

I believe you are right in your thinking. I spoke with a dealer regarding this. His opinion was that the the i-5 was
superior sonically. Another possibility you might want to consider are the Manley EL 84 based mono blocs (50w per ch)
One of these two products will be my new amp when I change my present Bryston B-60R. My feeling is that the extra money for the i-5 would be well spent.
