[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 623721, member: 1447"] wowsers ..... yep - a pair of those in bridge mode offering you 290 watts per side with a good highish end speaker would absolutely rock only question then relates as to what DAC/preamp to use with those - if they had left the DAC-9 with the ESS sabre it would have been a perfect combo (the AKM chips are still an unknown to most of us ie im sure most of us havent heard an implementation of this yet, and if its warmer than the Sabre theres no telling how it impacts on the rest of the setup .... yet its a good reason to visit either Achim or Joel to hear the combo though (especially the DAC-9 but its still to be announced if it has a volume control so it can function as a preamp :nfi:) :thumbs: but yep two STA-9 at early bird prices should give a pair of monoblocks (@ 8 ohm) that could potentially drive most highish end speakers with ease if they match the sound of the IDA-8 with that extra power .... i can see it as being a go-to combo for many comparatively budget priced (yet high end) systems i can dream up ..... call me a cheapskate but im a fan of high performance at low pricing so this is now heading into the territory that i definitely would want to look into sometime next year instead of an IDA-8 ;) [/QUOTE]
