FM Acoustics 611 vs Goldmund 29.6M


Can anyone help me compare these two amps?
no_slouch
but the latest telos 2500 did blow the old 611 away, the old 61 only manage to and still won the area of Tonal balanace ( nice coloration...) haha
Ok, the new Goldmund. That's not a fair comparison, really. The 611 is 22 (wow!) year old technology. A fairer comparison would be to a 711-MKII.
agreeed, it is not fair at all, it was just for my personal evaluation for which amp i should keep

at such time..i had 3 power amp, which were Cello performance II/ FM611/ Goldmund 2500

i am keeping the set of Cello performance II , which the Cello is still manage excel in the area of layering of the sound stage - better control to the pair of Matrix 800 and Maxx2 vs 611 (why..keeping the Cello - as i look cool from those 4 boxes, relatively cheap and still some of the best sound stage machine around ..at any price, worth to keep as a back up or second system)

I had the 611 for quite some time..the inner details, tonal balance (IMO, it sound richer than most tube amp..but too rich for me), uptodate it is still better than many new amp at or around usd 15K

IMO - Goldmund - it is fast, ultra high resolution, sound refined , however so sensitive to Interconnection, speaker cable...Power Cord selection - it is not overrated...but seriously OVER listed ...however i suppose no one really paid the list price..anyway

IMO..I heard soem of those FM..., i shall go for a carefully set up GolDMUND..but not FM..., as those FM sound too rich for my liking

what other SS power amp shall i try ?
Wow, those are all great amps. I had the 611 too. I had to sell and I downgraded to Bryston for financial reasons. Long story, haha.

Anyway, have you tried Burmester, Gryphon, and Daniel Hertz (Levinson's new company)
i had tried soem grpphon (last generation ) , and Viola

heard a few Burmester ..from basic to ref 909..etc.. ( really world classes for some sort of musics...but seem quite accurate less not much emotion, well compared to Goldmund, i go for Goldmund ...since higher resolution, higher headroom, typical civilized presentation , and within my city, Goldmund is easier for resell

never heard any the DH...yet, from the backgroung, it may be hardly better than Viola.. - not a fair comment here...

for older Gryphon vs old FM...i go for gryphon - since it is a lot cheaper and leave me enough cash for cable...and better front end and speaker.etc..

again..FM sounded too rich for me
