I tried to keep this as simple as I could. I know some people are going to say "what in the heck are you doing with that SET amp on a speaker which has 84dB/w/m sensitivity?" Well, it just seemed to turn out that way due to various factors. But it works, and I'm pleased with the results. The S8 amp could be the star of the show!
Cherry slats on the top of this one - using the tube stage w/RCA connectors.
Unison Research S8
24 watt SET integrated amp. Nice wood embellishments. All hail the great 845 tube!
Spendor S3/5
The classic monitor that everyone knows about. Walnut finish.
Cardas Golden Cross
I got the 0.5m pair because I was afraid my wife going to strangle me with them if I got them any longer.
Shunyata DiamondBack
Have this one on the amplifier. Excellent cable for the price.
Shunyata Black Mamba
Managed to get my hands on a Black Mamba - I hope my wife doesn't find out. This is a strange and compelling sounding cable. Thick, rich, detailed, and ambient in the lower register.
The Unison amps I have heard have all been very impressive in terms of driving inefficient speakers. The 845 monoblocks were amazing with JM Labs and Royds - ditto the little Simply 2. I would love to hear/have an S8 after hearing what the monoblocks could do. Great amps.
