Yes the Bakoons are wonderful.Some audiophiles might not get them because they are not adding anything but if you really love music you will.They have immaculate timing so everything just gels together musically and sounds right and that is combined with very high resolution of all kinds of subtle little details that lesser amplifiers smear together.These traits are especially obvious with well recorded piano .
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
Have been a SET guy for so long I have forgotten what a good SS amp even sounds like.
Just bought a pair of $33k speakers that will replace my current $16k speakers. Both are from the same designer and both are 92db and a flat 8 ohms. The new ones arrive in 4 days!
My 300B based amps well drive my current speakers even though I do use the system nightly as a 2 channel home theater. Especially considering the HT usage, I think I may enjoy a SS amp with many times the horsepower. The speaker designer suggests using a Leema Hydra II. I have written to Leema telling them of my 300B preference and they assure me that their amp does not have the destructive harmonics that make a SS amp bright. There must be other SS amps that can satisfy?
