Is it all about the power/ current or is the "gain" of the amp / nature of transformers used important too? I ask because I've read about Sunrays driven by burmester 911 monoblocks . I know from listening and then reasoning with experts that burmester bec of its design has a compensating effect on the 50-100 hz region of a speaker ( heard a non sunray tidal and a kaiser kawero with different burmester stereo power amps) and effectively " rocks the bass" more while making classical music edges a bit more rounded ... Thoughts on burmester for sunray and if one 909 mk5 would do or if absolute wattage as you mention is needed?
Is Tidal Sunray much more difficult to get high/
extreme performance compared to the Tidal CDSE ? Which amps would you use for either ? Am planning a once in XXX years upgrade to my system. Have some old mac gear MC2720 and C37 power and pre respectively, transport Wadia wt-2000, Wadia Digital 2000 DAC, B and W 804s (being the most recent addition 7-8 years ago !). Read about the Devialet D Premier and thought would do my wife a favor to reduce the amp clutter + more relevantly integrate my AV stuff using the devialet and stream music etc. 3 months later i realized my speakers are not good enough so did the rounds from Wilson to Verity. That then made me realize that i want to go back to ugly amps as the Devialet (which i must now sell at 3 months of age :)) while sounding great and looking gorgeous, wouldnt optimize speakers i might eventually buy. Am debating between tidal contrivas and the sunrays (different price points i know) and wanted to assess if people believed/knew /experienced a Sunray's performance in an open living room format versus that of a Contriva and more importantly if the sunrays would need much more expensive amps to get "value/extreme sound" from ?
