Your Opinion of Coda CSiB Integrated Amplifier?
Hello to all:
I am considering a Coda CSiB amplifier (the 18 watt class A version). I would be using it with an easy to drive pair of speakers (89dB/watt) at very moderate levels, so no issue with needing high current/big power. If you have this amplifier, or have listened to it to any degree, what do you think of it? Many Thanks!

frank009: I can see your opinion on integrated amplifiers. There have been many that fall short of what separates can do. That said; a good designer could put a great pre amplifier in the same box with a power amplifier. It all depends on how things are laid out internally, and the degree of shielding & stray noise prevention. Internal shielding is down to a good art, though it would make things a bit more expensive. And there are good examples of integrated units, like Pass INT25 (used by reviewers), and the Coda CSiB. Both have had some excellent reviews. This is a hobby that is becoming VERY expensive, and some of the better integrated units help to keep costs down a bit, while performing quite well. |
@fastcat95 I owned CSiB V1 and used it to drive my Wilson Sabrina speakers, which are a notoriously difficult load dipping into 2ohms. No issues. It’s a great amp and I would highly recommend it. |
