Because of hearing aids I need to warm up my system. Currently driving my O Babys with Atmasphere D class amps. Need a lot more warmth and thinking First Watt SIT 5s might be the trick. Any thoughts welcome
I’ve got the O/Babies, and bass seems pretty good. How many hours on yours? It takes a while for things to loosen up, and caps to burn in. If time doesn’t help, consider subs.
Pass amps are among the most tube like sounding solid state amps because they use no feedback which results in a low damping factor like tube amps. Low damping factor is a significant part of warm tube amp sound and low feedback results in higher harmonic and IM distortion also like tube amps. And the Pass SIT amps are the most tube like of Pass amps because SITs are like a solid state version of a triode tube, the most linear way to run tubes. It seems like the Pass SIT amp could be what you are looking for. But like any audio purchase you it's best to audition it first which is difficult for a Pass First Watt amp.
