Buying Suggestion

Dear community,

I own an AMC CD9 and an AMC CVT3030 amp. Both have been modified and sound waaay much better than the original.
As speakers I have KEF Q70, which I believe are right now the weak part of the system and for which I am looking for an appropriate upgrade.

In principle I would like to hear a punchier, clearer bass and a more spatial sound in general.

According to my previous dealer (in Vienna, Austria - now I live in CA) for the AMC amp with ca. 2 x 30 Watt power the speakers should have between 89 and 92db sensitivity while the low frequencies impedance should not be lower than 4Ohm.

With this said, I am now looking for second hand speakers and a budget which should not exceed $2k.

What would you suggest?

Thanks a lot!

Curious about the mod on your CD9. I have a stock CD9 with Jeff Rowland integrated and Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signatures. Quite happy with the sound but could feel more detail from the CD9.

What type of mod did you do and how did it change the sonics?

Thanks

Second high sensitivity speaker, 90db or above, preferably 92db or better with 8 Ohm Impedance.

Hi Yashu,

If I rememebr properly, the CD has an additional filter on the supply (a couple large elkos right after the trasformer)plus the original quartz was substituted by a whole module. There might still be something else done.
Anyway, the sound became way more detailed and dynamic than before - I could not believe it when I herad it the first time.

Regards

Fabrizio

Hi Sounasega,

Sounds interesting. Who does this mod, and how much?

Thanks
