Paul, your amps are of newer design. On my older CC80, the tubes stand taller than the transformer chassis. You can also see the power switches are different.

Thanks Dave! I'm very happy myself too.

Hi TommyC, this is kit from down under (Australia). I noticed that you owned the Shindo Aurieges and CC80 gears driving your Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento speakers. I have a pair or Duntech DSM15 having similar specs as your speaker. Very keen to buy similar Shindo gears as yours to drive my a duntech speaker. With only 70 watts from CC80 just wondering do you have sufficient power to drive your speakers. Do you need to crank the volume a lot to hear the best SQ? Can you give me some feedback on your Shindo gears matching with your speaker. Thanks.

Hi Kit!
The CC80 puts out 70 watts into 16 ohm and only ~35 watts into 8 ohm. I terms of volume, it's more than enough. I set the gain on the CC80 at 12 o'clock. On the preamp side, it's usually between 7-9 o'clock. In other words, it goes plenty loud. I struggled with your dilemma for more than a year. I don't think I'm getting the most out of the GM. Sometimes it feels strained or bright. I think it has something to do with the impedance not matching between the amp and speakers. I love my GM. But it may be time for a change. |

Kev313, currently driving my speakers with SS Passlab X150.5 power amp and X2.5 pre. Sounded good but keen on Shindo gears, eg. CC80 and Aurieges L. Using Shunyata Zitron Cibra PC and Audience AU24 SE I/C with Sine Mega 6 power board. Playing both CD and Vinyl on Garrard 301. Based on what Tommy reply Shindo power might not be adequate to drive my two way speaker.

Or as I suggested on Stereonet, maybe the CCQs would work, they're really the only Shindo power amps that can drive speakers such as the ones you're using now.
Although Kevin's suggestion is the best idea so far! |
