Modest Integrated to match with Klipsch RF-82's

Yeah, I'll post the results as my ears hear it. The Onkyo is a fine sounding amp. I kind of miss the more lively sound the little NAD provided. Rule of thumb with Klipsch's are to pair a smoother amp with them to tame the horn. Some guys love tubes for that purpose. In this case the Onkyo may have sanded them a little too smooth. Depends on taste I guess. With my electric blues, I prefer that "edge" I guess is the way to put it.

Ok, first impressions on the Cambridge A640 vs the Onkyo A9555. After some extensive listening last night I have the following impressions. The Cambridge provides a more "forward" presentation. Some might call it livelier. The Onkyo is more reserved and a tad smoother in my book. For my listening tastes I like the livelier presentation of the Cambridge. It sounds similar to the NAD C325 BEE I had. Others may prefer that smoother, rounder sound of the Onkyo. Both very nice pieces with different presentations. I listed the Onkyo this am. For my ears, the Cambridge edged the Onkyo in this shoot-off for the music I prefer which is electric blues and classic rock. Build quality on both is very good. The volume control on the Cambridge is a bit touchy but acceptable.

sounds like you made a good choice. enjoy.

Thanks. I have a local offer to sell me an Arcam Alpha 8 which I may try as well.I would expect that and the Cambridge to have a similar sound. At this level, you can have some fun swapping amps in and out without tying up gobs of cash, which I don't have anyway.

Ok, an update for those interested. The Cambridge was nice, went to a NAD C372 which was over-kill. Settled (for now) on an Audio Analogue Primo Sentatta (sp?). A nice balance of liveliness and smoothness.It does have a "tubelike" touch to it but not as cloaked sounding as some tubes are. It always the snap of the Klipsch's to come through but not dominate the sound. May be a keeper here.
