obama Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Anyone selling these, planning to run my proac d28. thank you
brumby Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 You aim pretty high. The Electrocompaniet integrated powerful enough to run your speakers (125 wpc into 8 ohms) comes in at $10k new.
obama Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 Im looking at there intregrated amp ECI 5 Mk2, about $6500. The speakers il be using are my Proac D28, that sould be plenty of power
obama Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 tivoli hi fi stock these Yeah, thank you for that, i mite go up this weekend
b@ndicoot Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Just my Opinion but you could do a hell of allot better than electro, especially at integrated level and especially at that price! Get a hold of Krispy cables in Adelaide he's got some ripper amplifiers from Bladelius and similar that youbwouldbbe far better off with;) once again Just MHO.. Cheers 1
Anthony John Colbert Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 naim and proac work well together too, the supernait would be a good match

If you're looking to drop $6 1/2 k, there's lots to consider and at that price point you should try to arrange to listen to amps with your own speakers. You might also want to consider Modwright and Audia Flight. All different amps, all more than capable of 'powering' your ProAcs, but with slightly different sonics. You could also try contacting Boris at Absolute hi End, as he stocks all of the above brands and could give you some useful information on what might best suit your needs. http://www.absolutehiend.com/ Have fun!
b@ndicoot Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Is Krispy in Adelaide? I thought that was in Melbourne Sorry your correct! Indent know why I said Adelaide.. Must have it on the brain we're working on a project up that way! Sorry, NSW it turns out
obama Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 naim and proac work well together too, the supernait would be a good matc Thanks for the advice, but model would you recommend (naim)? il be audiotion alot this weekend
b@ndicoot Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If you go with a naim int, you'd have to go a nait2 yeah? Any naim guys want to chime in here..?
Volunteer sir sanders zingmore Posted July 9, 2014 Volunteer Posted July 9, 2014 Thanks for the advice, but model would you recommend (naim)? il be audiotion alot this weekend Ideally you'd be auditioning amps with your speakers otherwise it's a bit hard to tell if there is synergy.?? I think Clef sell proacs. Not sure who else (maybe audiophile in Brunswick st)
buddyev Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Ideally you'd be auditioning amps with your speakers otherwise it's a bit hard to tell if there is synergy.?? I think Clef sell proacs. Not sure who else (maybe audiophile in Brunswick st) +1 At this level its really important to audition together. Check out what amps Clef in South Melbourne use with their Proacs and listen to a couple of different amps side by side — that would be my first stop. Edited July 9, 2014 by buddyev
Kaynin Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Ideally you'd be auditioning amps with your speakers otherwise it's a bit hard to tell if there is synergy.?? I think Clef sell proacs. Not sure who else (maybe audiophile in Brunswick st) +2. You'd like to think they've done a lot of the "synergy" testing already and sell what works well together...maybe not to your exact liking, but certainly a better starting point than one single brand.
buzz lightyear Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 John at HiFi Exchange has got a Electro Companiet intergerated amp for sale might worth a look. I am sure he offers a 7 day trial.
hifi123 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If you are considering Naim, Densen is worth a listen.
Flynnyfalcon Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I was running my D28's with a Bladelius Thor Mk III, awesome combination!! Power & finesse rapt up in a gorgeous body, 180w p/ch with huge power supply, currently retailing at about $8-$9K from memory. The Blad is an absolute keeper as well, will stay with you long past you upgrade the D28's.
Flynnyfalcon Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 +2. You'd like to think they've done a lot of the "synergy" testing already and sell what works well together...maybe not to your exact liking, but certainly a better starting point than one single brand. Clef from memory had their ProAc's setup with Cambridge Audio, wasn't to my liking.
Conster Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I have run an Electro ECI-3 with Proac 1SC. I didn't think it was an ideal pairing. Proac have a prominent upper-midrange which gives them their sweetness and presence. The ECI-3 was similar in that regard, Combined, they were too much of a good thing, sometimes adding glare in my case (and room). The ECI-5 Mk2 may differ to the earlier Electro integrateds, so best to listen to one with your Proacs. Proacs are reputed to sound best with tubes. I believe they were (once) voiced using Audio Research amps. Tivoli may be worth a visit, as they carry both AR and Electro.
Guest Mr Thorens Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I would like to join the queue for an electro integrated too.
Guest Mr Thorens Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 There's an ECI-3 electrocompaniet on ebay at the moment, one day to go. Looks like a good one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Electrocompaniet-ECI-3-Integrated-Amplifier-/251608225702?pt=AU_Electronics_Audio_Amplifiers&hash=item3a9504d7a6&_uhb=1
shogun2 Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 That wss a bargain. Did someone here buy it? Auctionended early.
