Hi Jonathan, I wonder if you have any impressions of the Anthem STR preamp you'd be willing to share. Thanks! |

I own the 803 Matrix Series 2 and they are powered by a Classe CA150. I realize this is older gear but I’ve been extremely satisfied going on 25 years.

I’d like to drop a line that I moved my N802s to my bedroom as the theater is getting upgraded. I wanted an affordable easy solution. The new Sonos Amp, HDMI input for ARC, 125 watts x2 @ 8 ohms, 250 @ 4, this is powering these with ease!
$599 I have a compact, cool running, out of site 1 box solution that gives me easy networked audio along with audio from my TV. Extremely happy.

I would love to be able to use it with my B&W 683 S2s and a sub along with adding a pair of Sonos Play:5s for surrounds and create a 4.1 set-up. I'm simply concerned that the Amp wouldn't drive my speakers well. (They really opened up when I put 200 watts on them and they sound great.) Your post has me reconsidering giving it a shot though. Sonos makes some great stuff. We recently put a Playbase and 2 Play:1s in the bedroom for a surround set-up. It is oustanding. The Sonos OS/ecosystem is excellent. We have been completely happy with it and are huge fans now. If you have any other insight or thoughts on the Amp I'd love to hear it, thanks. Cheers, Scott

I went with Moon 390 and 760a because I felt with Moon was better for 2 channel, 10 year warranty, and much better tech support. Also with anthem this was the top of the line. While with moon I was in the middle of their line up. Moon offers a good upgrade program too within 2 years and offer networking upgrades. |

Thanks, Jonathan, for your impressions! My room dictates subs and EQ in the bass, and the STR does it for me. ARC on the STR, perhaps because it runs at 192kHz, is more transparent than any EQ or DSP I've used before.
Congratulations on your Moon purchases -- it's a great line of equipment! Last edited by Mike-48; 04-21-2019 at 04:57 PM. |

Nice to read that there some guys addicted to Moon! What are you sonic impressions of your Moon Pre-/Power Amp? Did you compare to the older Moon Neo350P pre-amp and 330A power amp or the integrated 340i? I guess that the possibilities and versatile features of the 390 are more than most people need. However the 390 is the only model which features also a USB port for sticks and drives, never understood why they are not implementing this to other models.... I am struggling between 340i or 350P+330A combo, the evolution Pre-/power amps are outstanding, but also in price.... Thanks for any input! Cheers Felix |
