I was excited about purify 1ET400 until I read the audioscience testing on the M28 implementation vs M27, this new tech seems picky on its OEM buffer partner!Untill it is released hard to compare. I head it in action earlier this year and it was fantastic. Purify technology, 8x400w or bridgeable 4x800w.
Also, what use is 8 amp channels surely 9 for all the 2020 bed channels is what we all want, else 7 is next step down? At least one of those 16 avr outputs is going to be a sub, hence odd number rules the day!
I agree but don’t you think usually the speakers in the height Channels dont have the same amp performance requirement for reasons of both audio content and installed speaker qualityMost new processors are 16 channel now, admittedly 1 of those will be for a sub but 2 x 7 channels wouldn’t be enough and 2 x 9 channels would be too many.
We use same amplification on all channels for our installations and high quality height speakers.I agree but don’t you think usually the speakers in the height Channels dont have the same amp performance requirement for reasons of both audio content and installed speaker quality

I’ve got 4 procella height speakers in my room, but will I add another M27 to now drive them the same ? probably....but largely because I need a quality amp for the rear channels and only have four heights, not sure the heights alone would sway me.We use same amplification on all channels for our installations and high quality height speakers.
One passive underpowered sub, draining PSU power from other channels in a 16 channel amp system, Seriously???2 x 8 channels gives 16. If you run a passive sub then 16 are used.
Yes mine too, but probably we‘re both daft!!! (No offence meant)my new height speakers are the same power rating as the rest of my speakers.
Plenty of power all channels driven with the 8400. How do you think SL boundary woofers are driven?One passive underpowered sub, draining PSU power from other channels in a 16 channel amp system, Seriously???
Nuff Said!
Not the pointDon't think anyone here is using or planning on using sl boundary woofers.
I'm on the verge of purchasing an Altitude 16 and I'd really like some owner feedback on 2-channel music reproduction. I'm unable to demo a Trinnov unit at this time, so any input is incredibly valuable.
My system is in an untreated "great" room of our home. It doubles as my 2-ch stereo music listening area as well as our "home theater". I'm considering replacing my Bryston SP3 processor, Bryston BDA-2 DAC, and Bryston BDP-2 digital player (via Roon) with a Trinnov Altitude 16 (I also have an Oppo BDP-203, Apple 4k TV, and Kaleidescape Strato for sources).
My concern is how 2-ch stereo music will sound with the Trinnov, as it becomes the digital player, DAC, and pre-amp. Any comparrison or impressions anyone has had using the Altitude in this capacity would be invaluable!
Thanks,
