Supercharged SongSurround Amplification
« on: 15 Oct 2022, 02:04 pm »
I have a pair of the Supercharged SongSurrounds.  In one setup they sound good driven by a Schiit Ragnarok 2 (A/B 60 wpc).  I plugged them into the HT setup NAD T758 (D 110 wpc) as L/R fronts where they seemed to really come alive.  In neither case was I driving them hard (call in average 60 ish dB at 1 meter) where I would suspect the Raggy was anywhere close to running out of steam.  The HT room set up is arguably worse than the Schiit setup so I think acoustics has little to do with the difference.

Does it make sense that the Songs are just better matched to either or both the power and amplifier class differences?

I ask because I’m considering a few of options for a desktop amp that I want to be powerful enough to drive the Songs.  Two are about 50 wpc.  One is class D (PS Audio Sprout) the other A/B (Parasound ZampV.3).  A third option is a Schiit Vidar (A/B 100 wpc).  They also bracket the price point I’m looking at.

Any thoughts are appreciated.  Thank you.
