Not Another NuForce thread......

Ok, first I am not shill or related to, or affiliated with NuForce in any way...I just thought that we should have a thread to discuss the V2...

I just placed the Reference 9 SE "V2" in my system after living with the NuForce 9 SE for the past year and auditioning the Reference 9 V2 for the past 2 months...

I am putting out there for comment and debate that the Reference 9 SE V2 is one of the top 5 best amplifiers out there and currently available. (I personally think that it one of the top 3, but I am leaving room for argument)

Sitting in my room last night I was reminded of one of those transforming audio experiences. My first ones was couple of hours with the Sinus Faber Amati Homage pushed with a full compliment of the top of the line ML gear all with in a perfectly treated room....My experience with the Reference 9 SE V2 was like that...

Please comment if you are able on the V2 in general, what was your experience?? Are your thought of the Reference 9 SE V2 the same??

Dunno....it was his guick interpretation that the presentation was "thin"....I suspect it was the Krell.

I agree - Nuforce does not sound thin in my set up.

Jim, are you using the 9SEV2's with your 10t's? Did you have the V1's before?

JB, let me understand: there are two configurations:

1. A Krell integrated used on its own.

2. The same Krell integrated used as a linestage in conjunction with a NuForce and a yet unspecified IC between the two.

Observations: there exists a 2nd hand report, according to which One of the two configurations above may have sounded thinner than the other, but we do not really know which one. Given the ambiguity of the findings, and the necessity of there existing an additional unknown IC to add to the variables, I am not sure if this finding is bringing us any new knowledge quite yet. Could you clarify with your friend?

Jp1208 -

Yes I am using the V2 SE's on my 10T's. I have never used a NuForce product before this audition. I must say that I'm very impressed so far.

Often a thin sound is due to underpowering; that is, given the efficiency of the speaker and the size of room and your musical taste, more power may be needed. Sometimes we think we have enough power just because we get volume....
