GAWDAYUM!

Ken ... do you get enough slam from that tube amp for really heavy stuff?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Nope.

Although, I did moreso when it was first in the small spare room at the condo.

But, you won't get that kind of grip on the low end with tubes as you do with ss. You'd get more with a full range, HIGHLY efficient speaker voiced for that kinda stuff I guess too.

 

[lurch70]

dump that shit ..

I was just thinking when I was listening to this Mesuggah how it might sound with tubes.

I mean you have a dedicated listening man cave. Get an amp with balls.

[lurch70]

Oh sorry. You can't test that sort of stuff on your system

 

[Krilons Resa]

here we go...

naa, just b&w.

 

[lurch70]

hahha, yeah I don't really think bass when I think B&W ... anyway I added Raekwon - Incarcerated Scarfaces to their blog

 

[lurch70]

[lurch70]

[Krilons Resa]

[dorian gray]

[lurch70]

I think it's a great bang for buck but not sure of the power ... not that I need the 120w/ch i have now.

you have experience with CA stuff ...

 

[Krilons Resa]

What's wrong with your Rotel?

See what you are doing already?

 

[lurch70]

hahahah ... got the bug.

i think having something "brand new" with a 3 year warranty is not a bad thing.
plus it has remote and looks like it's a solid build for the $.
i can sell the Rotel stuff and come out ahead price wise.

goal is to get a brand new rig that I paid zilch for

how many hours have you listened to your current setup so far?

can you list three things you don't like about its sound?

can you list three reasons why you think the cambridge will be better in these areas?

 

[Krilons Resa]

I have no experience with CA amps, just cdp, but it'll probably sound better than what you have now tbh. WHat is the ROtel model you ahve?

You have a small room, right? WHat's the sensitivty of your speakers and how loud do you typically play?

 

[lurch70]

hahahha, ok dad. (at Erik)

i think they will be very similar sound wise. Brit engineering on both. I will lose some dynamic power but for the size room I am in it's not going to make a difference.
will gain some sexiness, convenience and not give up anything fidelity wise.
