@yyzsantabarbara I traded it in to Coda. Doug knew the condition of the amp. I don't know if they typically do that sort or thing, or not. Mine was in mint condition, so maybe he wanted it for other reasons. There are no dealers anywhere near me.
Amplifier recommendation
I have acquire a Acurus A150 amplifier a few month ago that powered a few speakers. They are my DIY Dayton speakers( was my first speakers for a while), Paradigm Mini Monitor v3 and now the new acquire Triangle BR03. The Triangle sound amazing with the A150 but I want to try another amp with similar specs. The two I was interested is the Bryston 3B SST or the Coda Model 11. The preamp is a Rotel RC995 which has balanced output to as well as RCA.

I appreciate all of the responses. I may be vague on what I am looking for. It seems everyone like that smooth silky midrange sound as the main priority. Don't get me wrong when it comes to vocals and instrumental but I also like to keep it real and dynamic. I listen mainly streaming and most mostly rock and country. I do listen occasionally like Norah Jones and anything easy listening. My budget is around 1.2k but I can push it to 1.8k only if I need to. |
The CODA is not a smooth silky mid-range. For that the KRELL Duo XD lineup is amazing. However, the CODA gear is slightly warm and to the neutral side of things. The Parasound A21+ was my gateway drug to the CODA gear. The A21+ was rather good but a but a bit too warm and not as detailed as the CODA (or KRELL Duo XD). The A21+ would be a great value option for a non-warm speaker, like my Magnepan LRS+. |
@yyzsantabarbara I was not referring CODA silky midrange in particular. The Krell model is 5x the price of the CODA I mentioned. |
