I could care less about amps within reason because even the best I will get used to and take it for granted how good it actually is, or the speakers that end up being the key ingredient. I built the Pass Amp Camp Amps and was really treating it like a novelty with junkyard charm. They sound great and I am giving the Fusion-12 Tempests the bulk of the credit here.
Still, something great happened with this matchup. No EQ, no room correction but I am using bass management and the sub frequencies 80hz down are going to the subs with the mains set to small. I feel bad about it because I like the amps in my old Denon and now I am just using it's pre-outs.
Before this, I pretty much took N. Pass with a grain of salt like the tube guys. Beyond my understanding, or even audio desires or needs. But this Amp Camp Amp, causes me to view his work a bit differently now. I don't know if I just had a really great Magoo mishap of components come about or what, but this setup sounds bloody fantastic. I think Nelson Pass has made a bit of a funny on the audio world with these simple circuits.
With that said, a no limit dream system? I'd be damned disappointed if it didn't sound as good as these $150 DIY amps do, and I cannot imagine an upgrade from here.
