Vesuvius...Thanks...I've bounced all over the place with regard to class design...
1. Class AB Hybrid (Counterpoint)
2. Class T SS (Bel Canto Tripath)
3. Class A SS (Ayre)
4. Class D SS (Bel Canto ICE)
5. Class A Tube (Shindo)
By far #5 has been the most musical...
Dan...Ain't that the truth, Alberto is an exceptional individual and Matt an exceptional connoisseur for equipment procurement (aka dealer
).
Tommy...I've had no problem driving the Cremonas at all...At full gain on the amp, normal listening levels with good control can be achieved at only 20% gain on the preamp volume control. I still need more time to dial it all in but as far as power I feel like the Shindo combo is giving me as much if not more than the Bel Canto REF500M's...15W vs 250W (@ 8 ohm)...scratching head...
Serge...I may mysteriously go missing for the next few days...I'm just saying
