Hello Everyone,
Wondering if anyone can comment on any of the matches in the title. My main speakers are B&W 805's matched with a Velodyne SPL-R 800. I've powered my B&Ws with a 2-channel HCA-1500 amp (200 watts) before, and was happy with that match. Then I moved to an HCA-1205A 5-channel amp. However, I bought a new audio rack and it does not clear it at all. So I'm looking for a new smaller amp.
I've been very happy with the HCA series. I've read lots of user reviews that ATI amps seem to have much better mids. Most of the reviews I read on the ATI amps seem to be prior Parasound owner. Can anyone comment on any experience with ATI?
Lastly, if the ATI is better, what about the Halo? I've never had the change to listen to a Halo cause all my local dealers don't have them for audition, but I've been reading from everyone how incredible these Halo's are. I don't have space for any of the 200 watt versions. I would only be optioning the A23 (125 x 2). Any comments on the A23 with B&W 805's? Thanks everyone in advance.
