most people suggest that a NAD power amp would be a good suite for them, also considering that the max rated power of the speakers is 150W, which is the max power output of this amp. towing company Weakness:

Strength:
(Super 15- built in phono stage) (Super 20- no phono stage) and (Super 25- remote control/no phono) I give this amp four stars simply because there are better amps out there (costing much more money), but at this price you'd be hard pressed to find a superior product.

Strength:
The S310s seem to lack the presence and had muddy base relative to the now discontinued ND310s. I have been considering the purchase of the ND310s to replace my small JBL bookshelf speakers. On a recent trip to Best Buy I was surprised to see that a new "E" series of the Northridge have replaced the old ND310. Olympia truck oil change Weakness:

This review is for the matching C500 and P500 pre-power combo.

Great! For me it was a first step upgrade for my Sony 6x100w surround receiver. I had the problem with my Sony that it lost its breath when it was pushed hard in action scenes. I then added the P500 for the front speakers and it gave my home cinema system a great lift in quality. the sound is now not so harsh and thin as it used to be and now I don't experience the sudden loss of power. |

Strength:
REAL, strong watts
Weakness:
may struggle with low frequencies at high volumes This amplifier really surprised me! I payd 1700 NOK for it at hifiklubben.no, which is a bargain for this amplifier. It is a really good amplifier. It is strong, doesn't color the sound and is extremely user-friendly. It even supports bi-amping, not bad for an amplifier at that price! I use it with my Cerwin Vega VE-8 speakers, and it really brings them to life! Good and tight bass, and clean, crispy treble.

Strength:
Power full setup with Bi-amping. Honest and clear sound.
Weakness:
No bridge option. (asking for option for this at Vogelaar Audio) Ok. Here I am again. The set is worked in and I have bought another P500. Now I'm BI-Amping the whole setup. I can tell you this: This is awesome. I have Tannoy's DC 2000 from 13 years of age, but the sound is so crispy and clear, that I won't leave my house any more. Bi-amping of this setup is what it's ment to be. The bass and high are totaly seperated and you can hear this. I was happy with one amp but you can feel the power even at low listning level. I live in a flat, and I can't turn it full open. The concreet is shaking. But what I love the most is the honest sound that it's producing. My neighbour has tannoy's P30 with a Technics Sa-AX7 amp, sound nice but the bass comes in to late. I don't know if it's the amp or speakers. Maybe testing it one day with the Cambridge setup.

-crisp and clear -more detail -Strong and Tight Response -Wide Stereo Image -Can pull little and big speakers
Weakness:
Not found yet I have a Cambridge C500 preamplifier, that I have hooked up on a Alesis RA500 Power amp. I was happy with the sound. The RA500 gave me nice powerfull sound with my Lovely tannoy DC2000. But I wanted to know what sounds better. A amp with 2x175 watts or a amp that's made voor de C500. With only 55watt RMS. This is what I can tell you. Don't look at the watts, I knew this but I never thought that this little amp does it better in my living room than the Alesis amp. What a awesome sound, nice crispy clear details. Strong and tight response and the stereo image is getting better all the time. I have to get it worked in, but the sound is much better. I think I keep it... I used the Alesis before, because I'm expanding my set up. This is a amp for hard and loud rooms. I'm a DJ and I make a difference in working sound an listening sound. I now have seperated these to facts. If you're searching for a nice quality/price product. This is the one. I never thought that this little amp could push my tannoy's. |
