Hello everyone
I have had a few amplifiers such as Denon, Yamaha, Cambrige and my favorite is the Harman HK990, two toroidal and a lot of clean power, it was the only one that could handle my magnepan, then I went to a completely active 4-way system with speakers made by me. The Morel line with 4-channel Brax amplifiers and DSP that made the Magnepans look like pocket radios in terms of clarity and dynamics. (much more realism)
I recently made my own passive speakers and paired them with the HK990 and everything was great until I decided to try other more modern amplifiers such as the NAD based on purifi, although it sounded very very good I felt that it was lacking transient power vs the HK990
I decided to go for the Macintosh MC611, in sound let's say they are similar but the big difference in power, for example in the song New Beginning by Tracy Chapman or Black Magic Woman by Santana, is very noticeable, I normally listen to between 6 and 60 watts and it is enough but raising the volume for fun to strong levels I saw the indicator at 700 rms per channel without any sign of distortion, this was where the MC611 takes advantage and leaves it behind the HK990 and much more behind the purifi
I would like to recommend to my friends interested in my speakers an amplifier similar in power to the MC611 but that does not cost as much.
Could you give me some options? I would appreciate it
