hello all, i have in recent times sold most of my hifi ware with just the JBL 4312E remaining in system.
im now in the process of shortlisting an amplifier which i could live for some years if not more..
i have the choice of going with brand new Pulz HA400 with it's pre amp...HA 400 is mightier than their earlier rs250..i have heard this setup and like them quite a bit. it almost has this tube like smoothness with precision and drive of a solid state.
unfortunately, i have not demoed Naim 5i and Lyrita 2A3 before...just keep reading all great reviews.
i intend to keep my JBL 4312 for a longer time, i like them for what it offers. i also notice it needs an efficient amp to drive them. my earlier DIY f5 V2 did well, it sounded refined. however recently i happened to aquire rs100/250 for one of my freind and i ended testing them on my JBL, the pulz could drive them so easily and with control. refinement of F5 V2 was not there, but bass was so much in control and there was a drive to it, which elads me to believe this speaker is heavily dependant on system matching.
i must say i like coloured sound, im pretty sure im not the clinical precision type guy, what however matters is my system should cater everything from
ahmad jamal to slowdive to notorius bi.g to simple minds to ustads of the world...my listening preferences is quite diverse..
any recommendations under 50-60 k that i could consider..any other ideas
