cazzesman Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I have been reading about these alot recently. What sort of speakers would they best be suited with. Obviously those that are easy to drive. The 15 watt output is low based on current power amps. Regards Cazzesman
eaglewood Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 Difficult question to answer. The speakers don't have to be ultra high efficiency speakers anything around 90db efficient or better will be more than adequate. Better if the speakers have a flat impedance that does not drop too low. Also it may depend on what kind of music you listen to. These amps have extraordinary detail recovery and natural presentation. That is what they are all about.
lebowski Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 One of (if not) the best Amp I have ever heard. I had one in my system for a few weeks with my WLM Diva Monitors ... superb
PicoWattson Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Did anyone get an opportunity to feed it's SATRI inputs? Plenty of nice reviews but not one linking SATRIs. I realise the only source feed is the phono stage but hopefully more may be on the horizon. SATRI seems like an answer just waiting for a question. Is it compatable with Krell's CAST? 1
atsq Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Audio GD's ACSS is compatible and Audio GD can make you special cables that are ACSS out to SATRI in for very little money.

Regards Cazzesman Hey mate, I have used the Japanese Bakoon with a set of standmount Tannoys, and also a pair of Gale 401s.Drove them both quite easily. The gales are notoriously hard to drive, but I thought they were a great match together. Cheers Dave.
