leok Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Gaincard .. based on reviews looks good (not cheap). A real fast ss amp with lots of feedback should be able to do the trick. I thought the Job amp sounded nice and that's what that is. Also, the 25 W Gaincard scale makes more sense than the 60 W Job, for 1 W Klipsch applications. If it doesn't make ears bleed through the Avantgarde Duo it's probably pretty clean. leok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 well I am going to take the plunge with leo's P6D amplifier. Give me somehting to play with while waiting for the SET amp...guess I beat Dean to it again, huh? lol. I will hook it up to my k-horns in my main rig and tell you all how it sounds compared to my dynaco monoblocks and later to Jean Francois's SET. regards, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I will be reviewing one as well and comparing to some inexpensive AV-8 WAVES. Should be interesting. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio Flynn Posted January 31, 2003 Author Share Posted January 31, 2003 This will be interesting to see other people with different Klipsch models and front ends expeince this newer technology. I was in Mexico since Monday, looking forward to an 1.5 hour min. listening session in the morning before I go to work. Even my wife likes the P6D. She grades more papers in front of the 2 channel now, than she does in front of the HT playing music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 I think I have a tube going in the Scott 208 so I decided to put the P6D in today for the first time in about 9 months. Still an amazing sound from the "sandwich" sized little box. Not tubes but very pleasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I am almost afraid to try them, supppose I then want to dump all my tube amps...think it will happen? lol! I AM looking forward to playing with it though, ... I thought the same thought. I got a Tripath amp (Teac 30W) to see what all the fuss was about. I can see why folks that like CD over vinyl would prefer Tripath amps to tubes. In the case of the Teac, it is very quiet with an absolutely black background. Compared to my tubes, the Teac is more extended in the highs and lows (like CDs) and for my tastes its a little too much. I go back to my tubes because to me they sound more natural, Every few months I pull out the Teac and listen again - interesting, but I always go back to the tubes. For the about $100 I paid for it, the Teac is good enough to get me by if I ever have to send my tube amps off for maintenance or repair (or upgrade?).
