Hi,I was very busy this week. Finally I have time to write a couple of mails...
I seriously consider to change my speakers.
Therefore I was in a hifi studio with my solid state integrated ADVANTAGE S-100. They have an AN system (OTO SE & AN-E HE smallest model with AN cables) and the Cabasse speakers there.
The acoustic music with the AN system was wonderfull. The AN speaker was a bit better than the Cabasse Bahia (Bahia was not as neutral as AN-E), but the Bahia costs only a half.
The problem was, that my integrated amp likes neither the AN nor the Cabasse speaker. There was little bass in the music, the middles and heights sounded very sharp and cold. I had no fun with that combination. The dealer means, I should begin with the amp. The 10 Watts of the OTO SE are not enough, but 18 W of the SORO SE model or P2SE should be enough for my dynaudio Contour 3.3. The dynaudios are well known about their less sensitivity. But the Contour 3.3 model is an exception with 89 dB. The dealer had been sold for 10 years the dynaudios too, he knows the speakers very well. That's why I am searching for an AN amp and not for an AN speaker.It’s quite plain to me, if I buy an AN amp, sooner or later I have to change my dynaudios to some other speakers, such as AN, Cabasse, Zingali...
As I have already written, I am a newcomer in the tube world. The only one tube amp I have heard is the AN OTO SE. The dealer says, the level two AN amps play nearly as good as a McIntosh for 12000 $. I can't judge it. But this model plays really very nice.
I don't know the Blue Circle CS, I've never heard it. It's a risk to buy something without testing it...
You have imported your Blue Circle CS from Canada. Can you write me something about the payment method you have used and your experience. How much approximately were the shipping costs to Europe?
I have found an P2SE amp for good conditions in Jakarta (via AudioWeb) but I am in doubt, the seller has no reference yet...
Thanks
Regards
Tibor
