What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers
Dear @carey1110 : """
for a warm inviting very musical sound. Something I can play all day without ear fatigue but still very detailed. Realism. """ well, I think that a MUSIC lover as you and I imagine almost all audiophuiles are looking for our room/system reproduce with true fidelity what is in the recording. That could means that if the recording is in the warm side that's what we listening to but if what is in the recording is not to warm that must be what we must to listen. A good room/system does not editorialize the different recordings we are listen it. My personal target is to stay truer to the resording that is what put me nearer to the live MUSIC that's my reference. I know I'm not truly " there " but that's my main room/system target. Trhough some of the posts that other gentlemans posted I read that word: " warm " for the MUSIC and some reference to tube elctronics and only you posted about : " detailed and realism " that are live MUSIC characteristics where warm is not in any sense. Truer to the recording means to listen what the recording microphones pick up during the recording sessions where those microphones are " seated " at near field position ( 2m-3m ) not at 15m-20m + that is normally where we are seated in live events, many times even more far away from the source. If any one of us seated at near field listen a trumpet/horn or piano or violin players playing at live SPLs no one of us can say we are listening " warm " sound, that does not exist in live MUSIC events we attend seated at nearfield position that's where the recording microphones are. So, why many of us want to listen something that just does not came in the recording?. Yes, it's each one of us privilege to listen any thing we want in the way we want it, this is not under questiononing in any way. In the other side , I don't know how many of you already experienced with top room/audio systems FM Acoustics electronics or the extremely humble JC1 amplifiers because I did t several tiemes along with some of the D'Agostino designs or Vitus or ARC Boulder and the like. It's not easy to find out second hand FM Acoustics electronics because the owners just keep it for .ever. M.Huber designs started and still follows in the big studio recordings all over the world and nothing can " touch " it as nothing can" touch " his home systems audio items. @carey1110 and please don't be worried for that so low price of the JC1s, its quality level performance for a ridiculous fraction of the price of those very heavy $$$$ priced electronics is true competitive. The best way to go with your system is with separates where you don't merry with a signature preamp or signature amplifier for ever. With separates you always has the alternative to change the preamp or amp in the time you decide to do it and with separates. In the amps subject monobloks is the way to go, as nearer the speakers as best quality performance. Btw, money is always important but money/high price is not always a synonimous of " better ". The dombination of money and KNOWLEDGE level ( high or low ) is what makes the success happens or not. I gave my opinion according my personal targets and MUSIC/sound priorities. The others gentlemans not disclosed yet their priorities and certainly don't have to do it. I'm not biased to take your money or to spend your money, I'm biased to the MUSIC. Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. https://www.fmacoustics.com/products/line-stages/fm-255-mkii-r/ |
I certainly understand the need for accuracy in a system however it’s not my priority. Maybe the word warm is not the best description. I guess what I mean is organic or real. Just as sound engineers brings the recording into a mix they feel is right and enjoyable so it is that we design our systems in such a way that draws us in. One that is involving and makes us want to listen. That can be different for each of us. What I have found over the years is that there are many system that can sound completely different from each other but still draw you in and captivate you in different ways. I heard both tubes and solid state do this well but in different ways. This is why I ask for opinions because many of you achieve this in different ways, ways that I have not yet experienced. That why I love this hobby there are endless possibilities. |
