willland Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Alex, Don't hesitate to go to the website www.hifiheaven.com because they offer trade deals for new or refurbished items they carry. I have on many occasions filled out their trade forms to trade for some items and they have been pretty generous in their offers. Just a thought.

alexg5775 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 http://hifiheaven.net/shop/Pre-Owned/Marantz-Reference-PM-11S1-200-watt-Stereo-Integrated-Amp-Preowned Anyone have any experience this integrated? The Marantz pm 11S1? Thank you Bill. I have never been on that website. I have a DAC which i might end up needing. You think they will take some DYI sound panels?

I have offered to trade midfi CD players, integrated amps, and BD players and they have accepted my offers to trade but I declined to make a deal. It is a good way to get some value for unused quality gear in good condition without the hassle of listing and selling. 31 minutes ago, alexg5775 said: Anyone have any experience this integrated?

How did it sound and do power wise with your Palladium speakers? I have my RF 7's on a 200 watt amp and it takes a lot more power compared to the tube amp from looking at the readings on the power console.

Rdmarsiii Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I was in a similar situation, and I think I've decided on this. Or the Nova 300. http://www.peachtreeaudio.com/nova150-amplifier-with-dac.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediaelectronics Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I am using a Synthesis Roma 510AC tube AMP 2 X 80 Watts on my Klipsch Palladium P-38 towers and the sound was never that good. They even sing with the 2 X 26 Watt Synthesis Roma 96DC Class A tube AMP running on EL34’s. I tried multiple solid state Amps from different brands, none of them where able to make those speakers shine like they do now running on tubes. I am using the 80 Watt AMP not because the 26 Watt version is not powerfull enough but because I like the KT88 tube soundwise better.

JohnA Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I also vote Parasound or high-end Marantz. Should keep you under $2k. At 99 dB/w/m, you don't need more then 100 watts/ch. That room will need son BIG, THICK rugs to damp the reflections off that hard floor. Else, you'll be wearing ear plugs. Wall tapestries would be a great idea, too.

Ceptorman Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I believe the OP sold these speakers a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexg5775 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi guys. Sold these few months ago. I went with the parasound halo pre amp and the nord up nc500 amp. Awesome combo highly suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
