O&B Audio amplifiers

[Venkyrenga]

I am looking to buy O&B SS2150 power amplifier. I currently have an Elac dbr62 driven by Audiolab 6000a. I really like the sound but the 6000a doesn't seem to have enough power to drive the dbr62 to their potential. So I am planning to use it as a preamp and the SS2150 as the power amp.

I do not seem to find many reviews about O&B amps online. So I want to hear from you guys. I really like the smoothed over and sweet sounding treble of the 6000a. So it's also important for me that the power amp doesn't affect that.

Not sure of the 2150 but my monos have very clean treble. It is best if you request someone in your city for a listen.

I have been using the SS2150 (upgraded power supply version) for more than one year and am very happy with it. It sounds very neutral to me; that's what I requested from Ankit during the build. I am very happy with it. But recently I asked him about monoblocks, which I am planning to build in the near future.

Check the classified section, Someone has just listed one today for amazing price. I got similar modal in white color for around 32k (including shipping) for 1 year old modal with upgraded caps.

How is your experience with it? What pre amp and speakers are you using?

It is neutral amp, I am using it with Denon AVR 3800h for LR. Also, I haven't heard any other amp but this one is really heavy and seems like built to last longer. I am using it to power Q Acoustics 3030i.

Has there been any noticeable difference in the way the QA 3030i is sounding after switching to O&B from 3800h ?

@Blackstar Honestly I am not sure apart from one thing that is I am sure that it sounds slightly fuller and it have more punch but I think I am not noticing more difference because these QAs are not that huge and I think if I had full range tower speakers I would have noticed more difference.
