I'm using Nagra PLL. I intend to buy 2nd hand WB Discovery speakers (6 ohms) from a friend. So, I want to buy a more powerful power amp to match with them. My shortlist for HK$60K budget:

- Ayre V-1xe (200 WPC)
- Chord 1200E (350 WPC

Both should give clear fast sound. The main different of these 2 amps is the power supply: Chord has switch power supply so light weigh, but Ayre has regular power supply and has 90 lbs weigh.

Prefer analytical sound, high density and tight bass sound to fill up 15 x 20 ft room. Dont like slow/muddy sounds. Which suits better?

請指教! Any others suggestion.

Chord.

I am using using Chord to push my Discovery and previously I used Ayre new V1-x.

My personal feeling is that Chord is significantly better for Discovery. May be this is caused by the the Isobaric bass units which requires more power to drive.

Wish you find the above information helpful.

"Dont like slow/muddy sounds."

discovery我都用過，其實反而諗下discovery是否合你口味。

themouse hing,

I find Discovery has good resolution, clarity & bass 爽勁 but needs power to drive well. What amps did you use with your Discovery before? Pls share your experience. Thanks.

用過boulder 850同passlabs xa100.5。

拿discovery同之前用過的verity audio parsifal encore monitor或者dyna c1比較，discovery在＂resolution, clarity & bass 爽勁＂都有所不及。

可能小弟不才玩得唔好，discovery用家多多得罪！

Thanks for sharing. Did you change the original Discovery jumpers which are no good, biwiring will also give better resolution. This is my friend's comments.

Is boulder 850 provide good resolution?

現在已冇用discovery，紿終唔係太啱口味。

喇叭線同jumper都係crystal cable，同條ultra jumper比較，原裝jumper的效果都唔係好差啫！（亦可能係我套機不濟，或者對耳唔夠靈。）

boulder 850雖然係boulder的入門mono block，但係去到呢啲價位，都唔係講夠唔夠resolution，只係口味夾唔夾自己，同夾唔夾其他器材啫。
