Jim: I used 350's with my Andras, and they were an excellent match; the Andras demand power and the 350's just put it out. I recommend them highly. However, I had the Andras rebuilt by Eggleston to Andra II's for $2750 plus $500 shipping, and there is nothing a change in amps can ever do which can match this upgrade. More to the point, the II's need no more than 50 watts per channel, so you could get the CAM-200's, which cost $3000 less than the 350's, and be way ahead with no greater expenditure. You should really do this: the change takes about a month round trip, and you will be delighted.
CAM 350 vs Omega Ref vs 450 vs Mono vs Omicron
Hello,
I have heard CAM 200's and liked, but would like more power than that for my Eggleston Andras in my 20 x 25 listening room. Thinking about CAM 350's to try with my Eggleston Andra's. I assume similar sound and performance to the CAM 200's, but have no clue about any sonic or other differences between the CAM's and the Omega Ref, 450, Mono's (110 watt per/channel?), or the Omicron. Has anybody compared any of these to each other?
I currently run McCormack DNA-1 mono blocks upgraded to Rev A+ by Steve McCormack at SMCaudio. I like them, but I am new and want to experiment with other components and do some A/B listening in my home set up. I thought I wanted a good stereo and then leave well enough alone, but have been bitten by the "system" bug and think the stereo is becoming as fun as the music, for now anyway. New hobby :)
