I love this amp just wish it had more power to drive lower impedance speakers but sounds great!

AGD would be my choice at almost half the price for a pair of mono blocks. GAN is the future of HiFi.

Because there's an endless supply of people with more money than sense in the world today. We're in the decadent last stages of a world order cycle. A time in which it's easy to come by money that's printed in service of quantitative easing and backed by nothing. I used to think it would all collapse by the end of this decade, but now I'm not so sure. Since most of the world economy relies heavily on the strength of the U.S. dollar, we might continue to be propped up well into the next.

This is a great amp for the only only 6k in England it's a shame American import taxes are so high and put it in the bracket of stronger rivals

As the former exclusive distributor of Burmester for Iran; I must go for it but I won’t. I’ll add another 10K and go for Herron Audio separates. This brand has been around for decades and unfortunately it didn’t get the recognition of the reviewers in the USA 🇺🇸 and elsewhere.

Looks really nice! “Smooth” feature sounds interesting. Is that similar to the old-school “loudness” features that used to exist?

Philosophically, perhaps, but I thought executionally it worked more to trim or soften high frequencies.

I have considerable trouble understanding why you would not do more sound research between similar competitor offerings - particularly the similarly powered and featured offerings from Accuphase and Hegel. Offering your sound impression is empty because it doesn’t compare to other offerings. 😅

What about with some good single full range driver speakers?
@thomasmartin2219
7 ай бұрын
Possibly, since some of those will work with even less power. I have done this math before, but an 88 db sensitive speaker should be able to deliver 82 db average SPL (you don’t need or want to go much higher) with 1-2 watts. 120 watts should give over 100 db peaks, reflecting pretty wide dynamic range. Thomas Tan is reviewing the Rethm Aarka single driver speakers and they are 94db sensitive, so 30 watts might do for something like that? But more is better if the added complexity of the circuit doesn’t impact the normal low wattage quality.

@@thomasmartin2219 Thank you for the answer. In this year I am planning to do a voigt pipe and TL speakers and later on a horn loaded ones with such drivers i guess from at least two or three different driver producers. Kind regards, Maj

Too bad the human brain isn't designed to remember these subtle differences beyond an immediate a-b comparison. The implications of this demonstrable fact aren't subtle. Utter futility other than the sake of the comparison itself. This is why audiophiles who come full circle get back to the macro basics like room dynamics and speaker preference. A relatively small list and simple path returns to what brought us here in the first place: Music.
