@kfscoll,
since CW4 so high efficiency and PL are tube, do you get any noise issues through the speakers or is it dead quiet?

Better Amp for Cornwall IV's...
...Parasound 2250 v.2 / 200 Pre combo, which I own, or Denon PMA-1600NE integrated, which I don't, but I admire the build quality and appearance of? My Parasound is rated 275W into 8 Ohms / 400W into 4, while the Denon is 70W into 8 and 140 into 4. Of course, the Klipsch Cornwall IV's are quite sensitive and are rated 8 Ohms. Maybe more than which is better, which would you all prefer?

Of course, you'd be better off with the Denon PMA-A110 integrated, which is the 110th anniversary model, and they put some special effort into. Likewise, of course, it costs more. https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/amplifiers/pma-a110 |
I know how luscious tubes can sound, but give me good, clean, fast, noise free, reliable and consistent, class A ss, anytime ( and this is with horns ). Just my opinion, and just what I like. Nothing debatable, listen for yourself, and decide. I own ( still ) many different ss power amps, all biased in Class A ( at least for the 1st few watts ), and with my Lascalas, I am sure, even with my spls, I stay within class A operation. |
Just get what you want and it looks like the Denon is your choice.Yes, but...I really like my Parasound pair, too! I'm like a guy who's had a good, faithful but average looking girlfriend for three years...and then I see this sexy beauty walking down the street (Cue Manfred Mann's "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy"). |
