    Default Karan KA-I 180 & ATC SIA2-150

    Have some members on here. Compared the (MK1, MK2) Karan i- 180 integrated to the ATC SIA2-150?

    If so, what conclusions did you come to in the end?

    Does the Karan 180 have more current and control than the ATC?

    I've not heard the ATC, but I've heard the Karan integrated a few times in a system I am familar with with other amps.
    Personally, I wouldn't touch it --- there's a subtle dynamic blandness to the sound that robs music of its pizzaz to my ears. Boring.

    Nah, but I can't be having with pipe&slipper amps.
    Some folks will love the Karan (like the owner of the system to which I refer ), but I prefer my music not to have an excitement-filter on it.
