In Reply to: What 8 models have you tried so far? Thanks -nt posted by AbeCollins on July 21, 2005 at 08:33:31:
Pannie XR25: decent bass actually, open but thin mids, atrocious highsPannie XR45: the same with a more body in the mids, highs just as bad
Bel Canto eVo2i: in my system, severely recessed midrange, unacceptable bass, better in the highs
PS Audio HCA-2: tight defined bass (best I've heard), open mids, noisy highs
PS Audio GCC-100: worst amp I've ever tried but nice to look at! Even worse than the Pannies in the highs
Henry Ho's intial 100-watt stereo version: so-so bass & highs, open mids, spacious sounding, but glare in a narrow band in the upper mids
JVC's digital receiver: more processed and phasey sounding than the Pannies
Nu-Force monos: as described
Channel Islands D200 monos: Hey, I'm keeping an open mind here, and some tube lovers have switched to these...
