from local dealer Summary:
Coming from a Naim 5 series rig, there has been a marked difference in the type of sound being reproduced. I find that 55watts with most 90db + speakers is sufficient, and certainly is plenty with my Klipsch rf25's. After about 150 hours of breakin time, the amp realy started to show it's strengths of being big sounding whilst still capturing the nice sublteties that you'd expect from a quality valve amp.
These include a nice sparkle on top, a sweet richness in the midband, and a full sounding bass. One of the beggest surprises here was the Cronus's ability to do pace and rythm, which despite what you may believe is not excluse to Naim; This is an amp that can do all music styles without appologie. THis has proven to be a real good amp from new, but when I changed the input tubes to Groove Tubes things really transformed into somthing wonderful.
All in all, this is an excellent product. Strengths:
delicius, high calorie sound that's built for the music lover, not the wanker. Weaknesses:
At todays prices, none. Similar Products Used:
Naim 150, Scott 299b, Bryston 3b and other various arc welders.
