Dusty Chalk Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 The AX-7e is another great integrated. I only heard it with one pair of speakers though.That was mean. It made me laugh. I don't see a budget/price/cost mentioned. Fisher? I'm going to continue to flout Musical Fidelity because I love them so much: Nu-Vista M3 or Tri-Vista 300 (both were said to be able to drive my Dynaudio 4 ohm speakers, despite not stating so in the specs). Amazon.com: Musical Fidelity A5.5 Integrated Amplifier: Electronics AudiogoN ForSale: Musical Fidelity A-1001 Other manufacturers that I would recommend: AudiogoN ForSale: Cambridge Audio Azur 840 A v2 (except, you know, zero feedback) AudiogoN ForSale: Cambridge Audio Azur 840A v2 AudiogoN ForSale: Marantz Reference PM-KI-pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiWire Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 The Channel Islands D-100s look decent, but you'll need a preamp or line controller for volume control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ta guys. I bought an Exposure 2010S off Agon and will give that a shot. Nonetheless, if anyone sees a silver Primare I30 going used anywhere, please holla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloaudio Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 The Monarchy blows the Micro away. I have owned both. Unless you upgrade the Micro's power supply, then the Monarchy goes into the corner and sulks. Bump ... I'm going to be using a GS-1 for a preamp so I'm in the market for a small amp. I'd like to know more about this Monarchy and Micro comparison you both posted about. Morphsci, what were the power supply upgrades for the Micro?

fierce_freak Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 A little OT, but I have a quick question that those here can probably answer for a speaker n00b. Does the F5 have enough juice to power the Harbeths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know more about this Monarchy and Micro comparison you both posted about. Morphsci, what were the power supply upgrades for the Micro? The micro system was two being run as monoblocs with a custom external PSU that was bigger by about 50% than both amps combined. I would look at the price but in reality a Monarchy may be a safer bet especially if it is a newer one. The micro's are starting to get a little long-in-the-tooth so may be in for some refurbishing depending upon how hard a life they have led.

Looks the Pro version is the one to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
