Hi fellow music/sound enthusiasts. I am deliberating whether I should upgrade my current amplifier (brio-r), well, I've pretty much made the decision, the question more being when, and to what. Options being the elex-r, a roksan k2bt, or maybey the abrahamsen.
My question for you here is for people who have heard both the brio-r and the elex-r. I am finding the brio-r sometimes to lightweight, and producing a sound that is overall too high pitched. The issue most highlighted by a recent playing of pink floyds DSOTM which provided no joy as the sound was way off mark. Again, too lightweight. Sometimes the sound is fantastic mind, and I'm currently listening to dermot o'leary's last show on the iplayer which is his highlights of the years live sessions, which sounds amazing, and I recommend everyone to check it out.
So, my question is, what are the diffences in sound between the brio-r and then elex-r. Am I going to get a considerable upgrade from one to the other? I like the reports that the elex-r is beefier and more muscular, this appeals to me, but is it really that stronger a sound as only 20W increase? The concern I have is that in the WHF review, they state that it is on the lean side, and this may be what I am trying to get away from.?
Thanks for your help.
