Octave Audio integrated amplifiers

The V110 is a sonic match for Thiel CS2.7 or CS3.7 loudspeakers.

Rabbani - The V110 is a modified V70se to add a higher (switchable) plate voltage to the output tubes. I've had the V40 - V70se and V110 in my home. With each step up you get a little more 'control' of the music. The V80 is a different beast. It has much better transformers and uses a lower gain input and driver/inverter tubes. I have not had the V80 in my home.

Octave is great match for Dynaudio's. But I will say the TS KT120 tube is a disappointment at least for me. Too bright in the highs and a little too forward in the mids (after break in). Put warmer or more laid back input and driver tubes and the KT120 sounds better to me.

To me the V70se and the V110 are very similar with more control going to the V110. Agsin the V110 does have a switch on the back in case you want to run KT88's or 6550's.

Thanks Xti16. Whether this v110 is enough to run with my room size of 10x14? Need any sub woofer?

Rabbani - my room is 12 X 26 with my Dyn C1's on the long wall. Actually the V40 is plenty but if your like me I'll take any little improvement. I also have a Rel B3 sub crossed over at 34hz. Just to add what the C1's can't do.

I owned the V70 with a Black Box. It was clean and powerful, but I did find them a bit too pristine, going from Naim I missed the excitement.

Currently using Vitus SS-010 and have been very satisfied with it on all fronts.

Recently put a W4S STP-SE preamp to front the SS-010 and with hugely satisfying results. Added PRaT to the Vitus.
