@ Kulo.
I own the Focal Kanta 3’s and a Kanta Center Speaker. Also Focal Aria 906 for surround. I spent hours listening to speakers including B&W, Paradigm, Wilson, Klipsch LaScala, Kef, Tannoy’s, Teckton Design and a few others.
I CHOOSE Focal Kanta No. 3
I demoed the Primaluna Evo 400 integrated amp, the Anthem STR power amp, STR Preamp, STR integrated amp, the Pathos integrated amp and the McIntosh C2700 preamp in my home for 2 weeks connected to Kanta 3. They are all good, synergy is the key, so I bought the McIntosh C2700 a month ago and I am very happy and can’t wait to get home from work to hear it. I demoed the McIntosh MC462 amp with my new preamp and got goose bumps and a —— on and almost cried with joy. Without even hearing the McIntosh MC611 amp, and from the reading reviews. I think i want it no matter why.
I own a Carver M-1.0t amp that has been modified. Look at carvermk2.com.
I bought this amp from my neighbor for 600 bucks 1 year ago and he had it rebuilt a year before. It does the job, which I don’t know why I need to look further down the rabbit hole but I seem to have Gotton the audio flu.
Check out Don Sachs amp and preamps. My neighbor owns one and I am very impressed with it.
Hope this helps, I’m not familiar with the amps that you were demoing.
