@ozzy62 Thanks. I sure like to test one of those SMc-amps some day.... Who knows, there's maybe a couple here in Europe somewhere....
Pass....Accuphase....or......
Hi Audiogoners!
I need a new power amp to my Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation (18 watts minimum recommended input power / 8 ohm).
Have a Mark Levinson No.532 that keeps broking down and it's getting too expensive to fix in Europe.
Music: Classical/symphonic and jazz.
Room: 13 x 26
Preamp: Auralic DAC/Pre (but this can change....)
Ideas so far:
Pass Labs XA-25 (hype or really good and powerful enough?)
Accuphase A-48 (too polite?)
If you have a minute....I need ideas in that price range...+/- $$. Thanks!

@southofdallas Something to consider: In most rooms if you need more than 100 Watts to make the speaker fly, the speaker is likely impractical. This is for the simple fact that, to make the speaker sound twice as loud you'll need 10x more power; in this case 1000 Watts. Its much easier to build a lower power amp that can sound like real music. |
No, I'd really rather not ignore your comments. I find them perplexing and amusing all at the same time. This is a speaker that you have no direct experience with. And obviously your reading comprehension isn't very good either. Why don't you tell me how a speaker with such technical specifications as the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation can qualify as "highly sensitive".
Go ahead. I'll be here waiting.....

@atmasphere It's not so much high volume I'm after but dynamics. I think too that an amp with around 100W and a good power supply is enough. I had a ML No.331 for some time and it was 100W and 100Kg (110 lbs). BIG power supply. I listen to a lot of classical music live so I know what it should sound like. The thing I miss the most is often dynamics an air. |
