Congrats Dan - Did the V110 have the KT120's. I thought the V110 was punchy boomy and not as refined. But like I had mentioned the KT120's were the culprit. By the time I got it I already had many different output tubes. Which tubes came with the V70se. Mine came with the SED 6550's and later purchased some SED KT88's. SED is no longer in production. The SED KT88 is a warmer sound and the 6550 is more linear. That said I have GEC KT88's that are very linear where the original TS 6550bp is much warmer. Guess what I am saying tubes from different manufacturers sound very different.Again Congrats
Octave v70se OR v80se
Hello Everyone!
I recently bought the amazing Dynaudio Contour 20 speakers and am about to purchase the Octave int amp. I have listened to the v70se but have also heard great things about the v80se model (have not heard v80se in person). So far this is the best integrated amp I have heard in this price range!
My question is should I get the v70se WITH a black box and call it a day OR just get the v80se? The price difference between v70se and v80se is pretty significant.
I have a 20x25 foot room and I listen to all kinds of music. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
