Anyone got any experience with this amp? Any good? Is this a sensible upgrade from a rotel rmb 1075?
Thanks
Thanks
According to some lab measurements it will do 287w with 5 channels driven (4 ohm). Not sure if this is the same when driving all 7. How do you find the amp does it gave any particular character to it? What is the noise floor like on it?
It's in Polish but you can decipher the measurements taken...it appears in one of the tables...

Thanks, while that's mostly correct, the 60Xt will go well below 4ohm on occasion, they are quite heavy on amps. They did send amps into protect mode under my "care" My current Anthem MCA20 is driving them excellently but I am looking for a class D to drive the whole bed layer hence my query.Whilst I'd consider the ML ESLs demanding (the minimum impedance of my Spires is 0.8 Ohms, the minimum impedance of the Electromotion ESL X is 1.6 Ohms), the Motion 60XTi is a conventional 4 Ohm dynamic speaker design and not at all demanding. The Primare A30.7 will easily drive your Motions to ear-shattering levels for extended periods, given adequate ventilation.
The Primare will be fine, as is your Anthem MCA20. Another Class D option that will work just fine is Rowen (better known here in CH than in UK).Thanks, while that's mostly correct, the 60Xt will go well below 4ohm on occasion, they are quite heavy on amps.

The only significant difference in your case is the number of channels, and as a result maximum power output. The Primare A30.7 has 7 of them at 150W, whilst the Anthem MCA 20 has two at 225W, so you need more of the Anthems. Both options will work just fine.The only thing I am curious about now as to how the Primare will differ in terms of actual sound over the MCA. Will it be cleaner or more clinical etc? Any experience on this?
At USD 80,000 a pair, I will (unfortunately) not be placing an order.When I demoed the Neolith, my reaction was "better than life"
I am testing the Ncore 250 with my ML 50Xt center. IF I like it, will ultimately move to AHB2's, those should drive anything.At USD 80,000 a pair, I will (unfortunately) not be placing an order.
Nor, given their minimum impedance of 0.43 ohms, would I be trying to drive them with Audiophonics MPA-M250NC's.
