I’ve had bad experiences using pro gear in my HT system in the past, so I’d be wary of anything you’d want to use. Don’t automatically expect that it will be clean or accurate until you give it a careful listening evaluation. I think I’d look first at pro amps that other audiophiles have used successfully. Also, see what kind of gear they have in the rest of their system to gauge how reliable their recommendation is. For instance, I wouldn’t be terribly impressed with a rave review of a pro amp if I saw they bought their speakers at Best Buy. |
Wayne,
I was searching around some forums for information on amps. I traced this pro amp idea back and it leads to you!
Last July (on another forum) you recommended Carvin amps to Steve Callas for his subwoofer. He bought one and last November he pitted his Carvin HD1800 full range in a blind listening test against the PS Audio HCA-2. He and his friends could tell no significant difference between the two. And that got me turned on to trying a pro amp to drive my mains.
Small world, isn't it?
