Bill,
Thanks but I would like to still listen without hearing aids when I am older. With 8 watts they were plently loud in the room which has to be 35x20x10 approx. No way would 200 watts go in my 14x17x9 room
Hell I currently have 250 watts into my maggies and they play way too loud for me
Mike
HI Mike,
Having more power is not always about "volume levels". With a rated 96dB, the Daedalus obviously will provide a very musical experience with just about any amount of low power.
I am a SET nut and like my 300B and 805 tubes which both do very well on the Daedalus. When you introduce more power / current, you wake the system up. It becomes more alive, even at the lower listening levels.
My everyday preference with the DA-1's is my 300B, 8 watt mono blocs. Oohhhhhh, so sweet is the music. BUT, when I get the chance, I will be building myself a pair of EXtreme Hurricanes or Monsoons to pair with the DA-1's. Two pair of the 300B mono blocs (I have 5 pair) will get pair with the Usher D2 horns in a bi-amp setup. Probably the 25 watts PP 300B's below with the 8 watter on the TAD.
