Shindo Corton Charlemagne

[lesmarshall]

I know the Corton Charlemagne (mono blocks EL 34s push pull 70 wpc) is one of the highest power Shindo amps, but how does it compare sonically to some of the other Shindo amps such as the Montile, Montrachet or the Haut Brion? Also, assuming your speakers do not necessarily require such high power, would the higher power contribute to the overall dynamics and character of the sound ? Any opinions on this model? Thanks.

Matt of Pitch Perfect Audio or Jonathan of Tone Imports are some of the most qualified people to give you a comparison.

Btw, the Corton Charlemagne is 25W. I think you're talking about the Corton Charlemagne Q.

Yes the Q

Both the CCQ and the CC80 are 70-watt mono blocks. The CCQ uses EL 34's and the CC80 uses 6550's. I'd be curious to hear how those two compare with each other if anybody's heard them both.
