How about a handful of Norh Le Amp or the new Le Amp II's? $300 each new and 180wpc monoblocks?!? VERY interesting...
I have seen people powering 2K speakers with 10K amplification and that to me makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.Well you should hear my system. I have $1700 Maggie 1.6 speakers driven by $20K retail of electronics. The old rule of "half the money in speakers" doesn't apply today in this age of trickle down technology.
When speakers are this good, they reveal the upstream electronics. High resolution speakers like Maggie are even more particular since the ribbon and quasi-ribbob tweeters are among the most accurate our there.
Also, some speakers require more amplification so it is not uncommon to have more in one mono amp than the entire speaker setup. Add-in a nice SACD player and good cables and you quickly get to a multiple of speaker price for the whol shebang.
Bottom line is the music however and my system has been well received by the locals and some big industry pros who stop by from time to time.
I do plan to get the Maggie 3.6s soon.
You and Ricky are a bad influence on me...Everybody is a bad influence here.
