oldtiger Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I have a Proton D1200 that I have used for years with my Klipsh Forte's. The Forte's do not need a lot of power to be loud. What I liked was that no matter the volume, the speaker amp combination always sounded good. Oldtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbunnin Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I took my Proton D940 out of the closet to see how it would drive my newly-acquired Cornwalls. The answer: beauifully! It's capable of producing sound levels considerably higher than I comfortably listen to. And the sound is remarkably clean: silence between musical passages is . . . silent. Nevertheless, I'm now in the market for an integrated tube amp. Sugesstions are welcome, especially as to the comparison of modern Chinese-made gear with vintage gear such as H.H. Scott and Fisher.
