That sounds like quite an upgrade, bit of wonger outlay :) Primare looks good and loads of connectability.
Think I've decided to sell the B&W 683s, and find some easier speakers, noticed that focal chorus don't biwire, so that knocks them off my list.
Thanks for advice on speakers, i thought I might audition som e monitor audio silver 500s too. The B&Ws are much better with a musical fidelity amp, the Roksan integrated basically overheats at about the 7/8 mark though combined with the k3 power amp this issue of cutout is resolved. When I...
I replaced an Onix oa22 powering mordaunt shorts to the roksan k3 for the living room, great improvement. So naturally `i thought amp would be good for larger office space so bought another and picked up the BWs second hand not having auditioned them but under the impression they would fill the...
Well if the dealer where in business i might. Seems like it is just not best matched for the b&ws as they require more guts, not talking about wattage, to power. There are other threads on this site saying the same , it's either change the amp or change the speakers, amp to drive b&w 683s would...
Hi
yes I bought from Hi fi shop, ctually had the amp checked out by Roksan when I first tried with 683s as I was less than overwhelmed by what I heard.
Reading some other earlier threads on this subject detail this would be a likely problem, should have done due research earlier.
Same amp doesn't cut out on my mordaunt shorts when volume is up high, and sound is better too but thats in a smaller room. Driving the 683s makes amp quite hot on just over half way round on volume and so thats when oveheat cuttout switch would kick in, quite annoying and dissapointing to boot.
I think my mistakes, many, was to think i'd get a good sound from the 683s, but they are power hungry speakers and all amps i tried with them just overwhelmed them. Thought the k3 would do the trick but as i mentioned that cut out as well, though when matched with power amp could drive the...
i wonder if anyone can help with recommending an appropriate set of speakers to work well with roksan k3 amp. The room is 5 x 12 m and open to eaves. I thought B&W 683 s2 would be ok but have found a few compatibility issues. They're very hard to drive, the integrated k3 cuts out quite quickly...
