Thank you Bob!
It has been so interesting to compare & contrast the 601 with the 2301's. I appreciate the ease of use with the 601 and not having to worry about things like tube warm up, tube lifespan, replacement, etc. But...when it comes down to sonic performance - at least to my ears - there is something magical about the 2301's. They lift an additional veil to the music and bring out imagining and articulation in my favorite recordings that I have just not yet heard from my 601's. There seems to be a higher degree of "attack" with the 2301's on transients - which surprised me - as they are rated 300 watts vs. the 601's 600 watts. Although I must caveat this by saying my 601's are not yet broken in, having only about 10 hours on them at this point. But while I think about this, I only have about 50 hours on the 2301s, so they may not be fully broken in yet either!

C1100 is real keeper! Made for the 601s. Next stop D1100.

Awesome service... A rep from the distributor picked up my amp on his way to work and dropped it off the same day on his way home! Fantastic [emoji106] That's the kind of company I want to give my business to!

Finally got my platforms today which was underwhelming as something is missing! It feels like I have purchased a car without any wheels!

It's a blessing in disguise. Put some Stillpoints between the amps and the bases - you can thank me later.

Oh my! I had no idea the 2301's made the 601's look so small! I hope to hear a pair someday! |
