B&W CDM 7NTS and Icon Audio 60 mkII
Any input would be greatly appreciated. My system is Thorens TD160B MkII modded,SME3009,Ortofon VMS30,icon Audio PS1.2 with the Jenson upgrade,icon Audio 60 MkII and Neat Mystique speakers. The Neats I feel are the weakest lin, especially given their 86db sensitivity. Tho admittedly the Icon can drive them quite well but I just feel there could be better speakers out there. I am minded to purchase some B&W cdm 7nts,partly for aesthetic purposes admittedly. Obviously an audition with my amp is going to be virtually impossible as I dont have a car. My question is,will the 35 watt per channel in triode mode be sufficient to drive them? Hopefully someone will have experience of the Cdms with a similair output amp.
Well...its a wan for the money,two for the show......
