I recently set up system: C-J CAV50 to drive proAC2.5. At this moment, this combination is not even as good as my old set up with spendor sp2/2.(especially for violin) I am not sure what I did wrong. Please help!!
I understand Music Reference makes some very fine sounding amps and the series 9 is supposed to excellent for P/P design. I see one is advertised here for $1,500.00.
Preamps I've enjoyed with the CJ amps are Audible Illusions M3a, CJ 17LS, and First Sound Deluxe II. Each of these is great at it's price point, I feel. The First Sound is absolutely jaw-dropping beautiful, it is shockingly good. I've heard there can be impedence problems with some amps, but I matched it with CJ 11a and loved it. Art
I own the SLI-80 and it powers my Silverline Sonatina II, even in triode mode, beautifully. However I suspect the power for the Proac 2.5 would be marginal unless the room is not very big. Art
my room size is 13x14 ...and openned to a dinner area. I am wondering if i could put some shelves (like LP shelves selling in IKEA) to seperate the room. C-J-11a may not have enough power if cary can not do so. and many other int amplifer (like VAC AVATA, ARC CA50) ususally provde 80W power..or even less.
