Advice on Quad power amps.

I would suggest one of these passives https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volume-Re...item2150a7ab55

Only bettered by a switched attenuator.

I have one you can have for £80 + postage.

What's a switched attenuator? Is that the Khozmo linked to by Bigman?

Yup

I'm thinking Khozmo now, but then Bonky went and linked to that rather lovely looking Schitt saga!
Confused. Anybody comment on the different sound signature of the two?

No signature with the Khozmo Stepped Attenuators. It's utterly superb in my opinion. I have one, Steve's had three, Macca has one, Alan bought a similar thing from Acoustic Dimensions. It's high end. If you feel it needs more drive after a listen to a passive, you can add a unity buffer fee very little money.

Seriously, if you buy a schitt over a Khozmo, I will wash my hands of this thread.

The preamp from Khozmo is a great bargain. I suggest it's probably going to do exactly what you want.

Sold!

Good man.

I think it's €299 for the stereo passive. Can't be a bad decision.

If I didn't have my dcb1, I'd probably have one.

You heard a Khozmo at mine running into a pair of Firebittle mono blocks and also into the Little Monarchy, its obiously not what you need.

Cheers, just ordered one, hope it doesn't take too long getting here.

I think he builds to order so keep that in mind.

At least now you'll KNOW what the amplifier sounds like. I'm a big fan of the Khozmo and am convinced of its transparency.

Well done!
