Has anyone listened to either of these two power amps?
Your opinions are appreciated.
Just compared EAD Powermaster + EAD Ovation + Sony 7700
with KRELL KAV-500 + Krell A/V preamp + CAL 25
Both setups were connected to Tannoy Churchill speakers.
While EAD combo sounded more delicate and laid back , KRELL setup was more dynamic . It's kind of difficult to separate impact of amplifier from one of preamp .Overall I would probably prefer EAD combo, but IMHO their performance were compatible and person with a little different preferences easy could make different choice.
My point is - Only you can make a choice based on the rest of your equipment and preferences. Try to find dealer who will set for you these 2 amps for A/B test.
Actually I would recommend to listen to 2 more 5-ch. amps in this price range - KRELL KAV-500 and Sonic Frontiers new ss 5ch. amp.
Good luck
I own the EAD. It's a great amp. I upgraded from the ATI1505. I liked the ATI but the EAD is in another league. The quality and build are rock solid. It sounds great. It's an audiophile quality amp. I'm hearing things in music and movies that I never heard from the ATI. The ATI sounds somewhat flat compared to the EAD.I wouldn't trade it for any other 5 channel amp on the market.
