Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?


Long story but I ended up buying a system without auditioning a single component and haven’t set it up, what are your thoughts? Technic SL 1210 GR, nagaoka mp-500, eversolo dmp-a6, pass labs xp 17, pass labs int-250, klipsch forte iv, Cardas clear Cygnus speaker cable, Cardas clear interconnects, Cardas clear Cygnus phono cable.  I know I don’t need the int-250 for the klipsch but got a great deal.

Good gear you picked, I am Ex-Klipsch Forte IV owner and you will be just fine with the Integrated amp.  They work with a lot of different gear for SET amps to solid state amps.  I found they liked the extra power as it will tighten up the bass vs a n lower powered SET amp.  When I switched from 2a3 to 30w push pull tube amp the sound tightened up and I liked the extra headroom from the additional power.  If for some reason you don’t like the Klipsch having a higher powered amp allows for more flexibility in speaker selection. I only sold mine as I am a Quad ESL57 junkie and decided to have mine upgraded with new heavier cabinets after the upgrades were done from Kent at Electrostatic Solutions.   I will miss the Forte IV’s as they did so much right…

Yup, fine with me. My current system I also haven’t auditioned a single component and love it ten times more than the previous which I auditioned for two days.

 You will love yours. Amazing components!

@jshira *G* H.o. on my part, but it doesn't seem like you selected by picking random names out of a hat... ;)  While waiting for the R.E. to clear, moving magic to occur (and the fairy dust that comes with that...), always a feat that's varied in treat...

...I'd stealth a minimum array in the 1st room that empties....yeah, not a fair test, but something to make 'moving muzic' and a place to gather the grit to carry on anon..(kiddy-proofed as poss, of course...)....

Always helped our efforts; last out, 1st in....just a temp(ting) suggestion...;)

...and happy listening in the new local... 👍😃

Lean heavy towards spouse prefs...
