Ever consider the relatively new Cambridge Evo 150?
What to do? I want a new amplifier to make my Dynaudio Contours to "sing"
Hi
The story so far ,,,,,,,,
Once upon a time a man disregarded his partners advice & wanted to dive back into HiFi listening after a long period .. He wanted to purchase something speecial something better than before... something that made the music more closer to like you were there live....
something that when you listened it made the hairs on the back of you neck standup
He got some second hand Dynaudio contour 3.4 s which he loved, but his partner thought he was a fool ...
He then purchased a Cambridge Audio CXN V2streamer/pre amp
His old amplifier , brought out of retirrement wasnt really up to it .... it died,
& after all the berating about purchaing these ""costly speakers"
& a new streamer /pre amplifier , she said "you're not going spend more of our hard earned cash $ on this fool hardy exercise
He lameneted & purchased a second hand budget amp Rotel RB 980... to continue the journey and keep listening.
Part of her did enjoy the new music
This fool hardy man is looking to upgrade , i was thinking down the Musical fidelity line
A5 CR or maybe A5 integrated second hand.. or a new M6 PRX
any advice/ direction/ from other travellers would be most welcomed
Ive been told these are ineffecent speakers & need ++++ current
second hand i am looking at a $2000 budget...
I sometimes get the urge to crank it a little loud but hey
Regards & thanks
the fool
@amplifierdude who ever said they were not? Crawl back into your hole. amplifierdude52 posts Are the connections soldered properly? |
Audio by Van Alstine makes some great amplified that I have used to power a couple of pairs of Dynaudio's - Excite 34s and Heritage Specials. Even the SET120 amp was more than enough power with great bass control and finesse. I also have the SET 400 and DVA 225 monoblocks. I don't think you can beat the value these amps offer. |
