Octave Audio integrated amplifiers

Xti16,

Thanks again for the info.

My speakers are rated at 87.5/1W/1M. That said I am interested in the V40 SE and I'd probably end up running it with KT88's.

Do you know of a distributor or vendor that you could recommend?

Where are you located? In the USA the distributor is Dynaudio North America. As far as I know they are only sold through retailers. My local dealer is NextLevelav located in Bartlett Illinois who I would highly recommend if you have no local dealer.

Beatlebum - I would have to say do not expect any discounts on a new Octave. If you do get one great but don't expect one. Pre-owned on the other hand is a different story. Octave does come with a 5 year warranty. When you order an Octave it is built in Germany and takes about 4 - 5 weeks.

Xti16,

Thank you for the great info. I am located in NW Indiana and I work on the south side of Chicago. I spoke with the people at Dynaudio and they referred me to Quintessance Audio in Morton Grove with regards to Octave Audio products.

Ah Mick from Quintessance Audio. I bought my Rel B3 from him. Good guy. Not too far from the Edens expressway off Dempster st. Funny I almost bout some Sonus Faber Cremora M auditors from him but decided on Dynaudio C1's. Later he picked up the Dyn line and Focal. After I bought my Octave V70SE he picked up the Octave line. Mick has a fine brick and mortar store where NextLevelav is by appt only and works out of his home.
