After 20 years, in the market for a power amp

I've been fortunate to be able to compare the Coda S5.5 to a highly modified and regarded current Class D stereo amp as well as Prima Luna product. Same experience as @mclinnguy, no comparison.

As for the impedance on the Triton Ones.  They sounded their best using the 8 ohm taps on my McIntosh amp.  Not that dynamic using the 4-ohm taps.

I own the Triton Reference and find them amp friendly. I have used McIntosh 452 and Michi X5 integrated. both made excellent music. The PrimaLuna amps are great too. Parasound Halo is a great choice too. The JC 1 is probably one of the best amps ever if considering price and performance. 

 Agree with @stereo5 about Triton Refererence. This is my second pair. I tried to go up the high end ladder twice and decided the T Ref were perfect for me and my room.

@pvnasby This is a qiote regurading you "dream amp" vs the Coda S5.5

Hey ddafoe,

I did a review on the Pass Labs X250.8, excellent amplifier, and the bass control on all the Coda amps, including the S5.5, is much better controlled/dynamic because of the loading of 100 amps of current based on their giant power supply sections.

It simply doesn't get serious consideration because of the price, it is outstanding.

I helped someone put together a system a few years ago with GE Triton 1 speakers and we drove them with a Parasound A21 Halo amp.  I was very impressed with the sound quality of the system.
