Hai rams1977,
Congrats on your purchase of NORGE 2060. I too am using NORGE 2060 since last 10 months , paired with my 3-way DIY . Recently I had the opportunity to audition the amp with Wharfedale 9.2 at Srikarkav's place. I am listing my experience as below:
Tracks played :
1. Hotel California - Eagles (Studio Version)
2. Tamil Film Songs from Alaigal Oyvathillai.
First we played through Srikarkav's Setup Marantz CDP and Amp :
The soundstage was wide, nice Treble and sound was bit laid back, Seperation of instruments and their placements was good.
Then we switched to NORGE 2060 + Marantz CDP:
Now the bass was more punchy, Treble was same as before, very crisp, the Vocals were very clear and Overall performance was very good.
Now we switched to Oppo 980H + NORGE 2060 :
In this combination, the Overall soundstage was not as wide as before. The Vocals were not full bodied though they were very clear, treble was adequate, the bass was presentbut a bit less.
The Verdict IMHO : The Wharfedales 9.2 is a very good sounding all rounder suitable for all genre of music. It gives a good bass for small rooms. It has a laidback sound with least fatigue for the ears and not harsh on the ears. But it needs a good sturdy stands and some breathing space all around. Its good value for money and pairs well with NORGE and Marantz amps.
I take this opportunity to thank Mr.Sridhar and his family, who played great host and especially to his son Mr.Karthik, who was very helpful in setting up the rig as well as changing them as and when required.
Thanks,
N.Murali
