Sorry for my late response - I am just seeing this thread. I have owned the Wells Innamorata for several months now, mated to my Clearwave 72r speakers (4 ohm, 90db efficiency with Raal tweeter Accutron midrange/woofer). At first, I was not "bowled over" by the Wells amp, feeling it was good, but not overwhelmingly so. I have very much changed my mind. Perhaps the amp needs time to break-in (due to the Bybees?), but it now sounds very liquid, with a very powerful, dynamic sound. The bass response on my speakers is superior to the bass I get when using a 150 watt/channel Bladelius integrated, which is no slouch compared to many others I've heard. In addition, the midrange is fuller and more realistic sounding, while not quite as tilted in the treble. The Wells sounds very much like a Class A topology amp - lively, but rich and warm in tone. I hope this helps; unfortunately, I have no experience with the Coda range.
Wells Innamorata vs CODA 15.5??????????
Narrowing my search down and these two are part of it.
The two speakers I am pondering on are Legacy Whisper HD and Salon 2's
Both spkrs would be separately AB bass bi-amp'ed.
Room is large enough for sure.
Wondering if anyone has heard the two amps mentioned in the HEADER?
And also if they have heard the two spkrs mentioned being driven by them for comparison?
The Wells states 120 @ 8 and 200 @ 4.
No amperage's or uF's given on specs
Reading into this a bit I wonder if the Bybee rails may have an impact on the Wells demonstrable measurements and may not convey the power to drive higher spl's even though they seem to have that ability from info and reviews.
S/N -103db
Mostly class A.
The C15.5
150 @ 8 300 @ 4
2 x 2000 'roids...LOL
No uF's listed
100A peak
S/N >120 db
The CODA states that it is better suited for low impedance/ high current apps.
My guess is, for wtf that is worth,CODA - S2 and Wells - Whisper HD.
Just really would appreciate some from those EXPERIENCED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED components.
Pre amps etc also appreciated pls?
Thanks
