Amp change
« on: July 23, 2015, 06:11:03 PM »
Time for my 3rd amp in 5 years in the resurgence of my 2 channel obsession.

Started with a 20+ year old Bryston 4B that I sent back to Bryston to upgrade to ST status.

Then went to an old Hafler DH 220 with hot-rodded power supply. I liked the mosfet sound, but it was a let down from the Bryston for loud Rock and big symphonic pieces. I'd been trying to get 2 10" sealed subs integrated with it, but never got to a point I was happy, especially after my ex threw away most of my sound panels.

So this week i bought TMAZZ' Classe Twent Five, also around 20 years old.

And a TWL 7 power cord for it.

Subs be gone!

Classe is sweet!   :drool:   I love everything they make.

(Don't give up on those subs just yet.)  ;)

Not giving up, just putting them aside for awhile Rich.

The amount of traveling I've been doing has really picked up last few months, bouncing between a project on Long Island and one in Cali, so when I'm home I just want to listen to the music and not muck-around with the gear more than I have to. 8)

  Had the Classe DR 25 for quite some time. They powered Maggie 3A's with ease and grace.
   The best match was with Mirage M-3si and M-1si speakers. The Classe has a rich character but not lacking in dynamics or bass.
    Enjoy, if you decide that you may want to try a new speaker then Mirage and Snell are the ones to listen too. ENJOY !!
