Hi
I have a pair of
Spatial Audio Hologram M3 Turbo S
being driven by a Bel Canto eVo2i a digital tripath amp, the basic technology behind the highly regarded eVo2 combined with Bel Canto's PRE6 preamplifier.
"120Wpc into 8 ohms and 200Wpc into 4 ohms" via
Tripath's digital-amplification module.
I've also tried a Sony 125 wpc receiver,
and recently a pair of Jeb DePaiva designed 6c33b based tube SE monoblocs rated at 18 wpc
The BelCanto Amp was Way Way better than the Sony Receiver. Very tubelike tonality, no digital grain, fast, agile and with a powerful grip especially in the bass.
While not in the same class in the lifelike mids and glare free treble that the tube monoblocs provided, it is very close, with more authority in the Bass. The digital amp is also surprisingly three dimensional.
For the price in the used market, it is tough to beat. I'm saving for the tube units but will never sell the BelCanto. its that good.
