Goldmund 29 vs. 28.4 for Eidolons

go to 29m,it s another league

cjpark-IMO, based on a great deal of listening to eidolons (i own a pair) with numerous electronics, the accuphase a-50v is a much better choice than either of the goldmunds. i highly recommend this amp. -cfb

Cornfedboy,

Do you think accuphase a-50V is enough power to drive Eidolons or does one need something like p-1000(?), one that is more powerful than a-50V? Have you listen to the goldmund (which?), pass X350, burmester 911s. How about the best matching pre-amps? What amps/preamps do you want to use for yours. I would appreciate your thoughts on this very much.

Goldmund, Accuphase, Rowland--any of these three brands are so musical sounding, best solid state. I have heard all three mentioned favorably on Avalons by owners. Surprisingly, the amps Avalon seems to prefer--Spectral--these I have heard on Eidolons and didn't like it at all. Having owned Rowland amps before, I can confidently recommend them as worth your consideration though. A current MC-6 or now-discontinued 8Ti would have MORE than enough juice to manhandle the Eidolons.

PS--from first poster, I too have heard new Millenium amps from Goldmund are a significant improvement over prior Mimesis version amps. Haven't had the pleasure of hearing them myself though.
