| Can you provide context on First Watt? Update: Well thank you to everyone who chimed in on this thread. My system is ALMOST complete. As I explained, I purchased a First Watt J2, and I placed a Wyred4Sound STP SE (2 stage upgrades) in front of it. Well, on a recommendation from "pang... | |
| Can you provide context on First Watt? The easier the load the better. I am currently running a pair of Nola Boxer II’s, 90db sensitivity, and an 8ohm load without the J2 breaking a sweat. I checked out those Nolas. Yes, I've been keeping my eye out for speakers with a sensitivity i... | |
| Can you provide context on First Watt? FYI, The Music Room in Boulder is advertising a good stock of the PS Audio Directstream DAC Thanks for the info. The Music Room may be the end of me. They have a lot of great deals, it seems. I bought my Wyred4Sound preamp from them for a great... | |

| Can you provide context on First Watt? The Colorado audio society is having a club meeting this Friday the 17th at YG acoustics at 5:30 pm. Might be a great time to go check out their speakers and have a listen. That sounds like fun, but I'm 3 hours west of Denver, and I'll be liste... | |
| Can you provide context on First Watt? Also try to look into Omega Speakers. I’m super happy with my Alnico Super 6 XRS that I bought used. Sounds amazing and since they are single driver and high efficiency speakers, they will pair well with your first watt amp. Luis Chochos makes... | |
| Can you provide context on First Watt? Rocray, thanks for the testimony. I’ve read a lot of happy First Watt customers. Can’t wait! gkelly, thanks for the recommendation. I’ll look up YG, for sure. | |
| Can you provide context on First Watt? That’s great to hear that First Watt is still around. They sound like such a great company. I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of amp and preamp. Ditusa, I haven’t purchased speakers yet. In fact, these two purchases came up very suddenly. I need... | |
