Love-Vinyl
It's about the Music
I've got a Basic M2 amp driving a pair of vintage Infinity RS3b's in full sigma mode. Any one else using one of these or something similar to drive their Infinities? I was using a Hafler DH500 and loved the way they played but while going through my closet I found the Basic and I knew I had tried them on the Infinities before but without the full sigma drive working. I just got it so cheap at the time, I think about 140 plus shipping in the original box -since gone - and the user manual.
The biggest thing I notice is I had to cut back on the tone adjustments on the speakers because I had to tweak them a smidge with the Hafler but the Kenwood just "breathes" crispness. It also has a super tight grip on the woofers I wasn't expecting. I'm still sort of letting them get to know each other at this time so I haven't really pushed anything hard as yet. Currently I'm listening to a BB. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan SACD and it is just that bit of sparkle I hadn't noticed that I'm enjoying right now. I've some specially made SACD's I will be using to listen a little deeper in the next day or two. I'm used to vinyl mostly but on this system I don't have a turntable as yet but I am liking what I'm hearing!
I was just wondering if anyone else here has had a similar experience?
