Hello mate and happy new year .
I do believe that this will keep me satisfied for a while , I've now taken the tv stand apart and reconfigured it so that this monster fits .
Question: the one thing that I've never changed in my system is my cheap ole Yamaha tuner that I paid £5 on a car boot , will an upgrade produce any major benefits in sound ?
Btw your gear is very very impressive .
And this monster is an upgrade from my little ion obelisk 3x and x-pak 1 which I have preferred to many other amps , hopefully this will be a keeper, I can't stop looking at it ( sad I know)
I was seriously considering one of these the other week on fleabay - amazing build and internals, excellent reviews - had it been in champagne I'd have grabbed it!
Enjoy.

Happy New Year to you to, Andy. No idea about the tuner, start a thread, loads of tuner nuts on here to get advice from. I use a 1980 Technics a mate gave me for free back in 1994, it does the job but I'm sure it could be bettered.Quote:

They only really come alive when they have huge power up the jacksie, imo. :thumbsup:
I don't think most people have heard what the bigger KEFs can really do.
Lovely looking beast, that amp, as well. :stalks:
Let's have a proper look ... wow ...

I agree though And I always thought that all I need now is power more power and for once I do believe I'm right , they truly sing now at all levels.
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
Btw how are are your huge speakers?
In the days when reviews used to be technically-based, I seem to recall some of the KEF Ref speakers were considered particularly difficult to drive, with measuement curves looking like a cross-section of the Alps? More recently, I sold a powerful ATC amp to a fellow with one of the old, big multi-driver KEF Ref jobbies. When he came to pick it up, he looked at it and said 'ah yes, that should sort the buggers out' :lol:Quote:
