Hi all, would like to get feedback regarding these speakers from those who have owned (or currently using) them:
The shop will be getting the demo units of Antal and Opticon 8 by late July. They only have S5 at the moment, will be visiting them mid June for a demo.
Current setup:
Room: 4.5m x 4.5m (14ft x 14ft)
Music: Jazz, Heavy Metal, electronics and hip hop
And whether I need to consider to upgrade the amplifier to get the best performance on these new speakers
Many thanks guys.
Here’s the Kandy K2 specs:
Solid-state integrated amplifier with 3.5mm headphone output. Inputs: 5 line-level (including tape), 1 phono (MM). Maximum output power: 125Wpc into 8 ohms (21dBW), 190Wpc into 4 ohms (19.8dBW), both channels driven. Frequency response: <3Hz–>100kHz, –3dB. Line and phono input impedance: 47k ohms. Line input sensitivity: 470mV at maximum output. Signal/noise ratio: 100dBA (line, ref/ 470mV input). Harmonic distortion: <0.005% at 1kHz (8 ohms, no power level specified). Damping factor: >110 (8 ohms).
