The CCQ will works better. However, all Shindo amps are not designed for tough load. You won't get that effortless sound like for other easy-load speakers.

Indeed.

I have the CC80's with the giscours and I am driving 93db 6ohm zingali horns. As others have said the loudness is never the problem but the fluidity of the music could suffer. The zingali are quite stable on load and it feels effortless. The SF are (I think) a 4 ohm load, that could be a challenge... However you could get the amps home and drive the SF reasonably loud but will you get the fluid musical best... That's hard to say...

My speakers are a bit easier to drive than the Duntech's, but are also more sensitive to impedance mismatches due to having more bass extension. So the perceived difficulty in driving my Parsifals might be even more than your speakers, but in any case is in the same range.
I tried the CC80s and have the CCQ's...the CCQ's are much better for my speakers. It's not an issue of volume - the CC80s play plenty loud - it's an issue of balance. The CC80s are only putting out ~18 watts into 4 ohms, so are very sensitive to speakers that have impedance dips. Aside from that theoretical stuff...the CCQ's just sound much more composed, rich, detailed, controlled in the bottom end, etc. That difference might be partly due to the CCQ being higher-range amps than CC80s (IMHO the differences are similar to what I've heard comparing lower to higher end Shindo pre's), but it's at least partly due to the amps being a better match to my speakers' load. |

That is basically what I did. Got rid of everything and put together a system with proper synergy. Why try to rationalize and over complicate what is really an easy equation. Shindo gear and cables, efficient speakers with a flat impedance curve equals musical bliss. Actually very simple. As kev said, totally worth it!

Absolutely beautiful system there - I'd love to hear some Shindo gear!

Hi all,
Sorry for the long hiatus. I went through a period of poor health. Am back now, better than every and enjoying music, friends and family. Catching up on this forum and look forward to conversing and perhaps getting together. Cheers, Larry |
