LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

I am on my second CD playing through my modded Sony SCD-1 and I am impressed. My Sony is not ideal in this room because I do not use DSP with the Sony. I won't get into details, but my ROON server is down. I am trying to move that to my MacMini. Once I have that sorted out today I will have my best source ready to go.

Saying all of that this amp sounds great on with my Sony. The sound was actually awful the first couple of songs but now we are rolling. I wont get into audiophile terms (still early yet). All I will say is that my head has been bobbing, my toes have been tapping like a madman. This amp seems fast, maybe that is why I am having this great time with the music.  

No fatigue so far.

It also seems good with my 2 Ohm speaker. I felt some things were just not there with the 2 Ohm speaker and the Benchmark AHB2. Not so with the CODA #8 and Voyager.

BTW - I forgot I am getting my KRELL K-300i back from KRELL tomorrow. That integrated sounds great on the Thiel CS3.7 (smooth and great bass). It will be a shootout with 3 amps. 

Sounds like a contender. 

Sounds like it’s a contender. 

yyz,
When I tried the single stereo Benchmark AHB2 with my LOW impedance of parallel electrostatics and Enigmacoustics stat tweeters, it shut down at even moderate power.  Using mono AHB2's gives more power into 8 ohms, but not 2 ohms.  I know it is early, but later please report on the relative tonality (clarity, neutrality) of the AHB2 and Voyager at sensible SPL's.  The Voyager has greater power, but quality is what counts.

ricevs,
Thanks.  Now my 170 hours have been probably using 0.1 to only rarely 10 watts.  I can try playing more dynamic orchestral music using up to maybe 500 watt peaks for short periods of time.  Would that provide a better break in?  For weight lifting, it is better to do short, intense workouts with heavy weight than long workouts with baby weights, a waste of time.  Is the same thing true with amp break in?
