Roksan Caspian mono block

[ANWKLO]

My existing system are Roksan Kandy K2 CDP, Caspian M1 Integrated Amp and Roksan FR-5 loudspeakers.

Please advise if there is any significant improvement of adding a pair of Roksan Caspian M1 monoblocks?

There should be: I heard the Caspian monoblocs about 3 years ago hooked up to some Wilson Benesch standmounter speakers. One of the very best systems I've ever heard.

In saying that, I'm not familiar with your speakers so I don't know how they compare to WB.

What preamp was used? My Roksan M1 integrated amp will be used as preamp.

i got a roksan kandy, and cdp the L3 version there K2 monobloc and caspian monobloc my question can i use either of them on my existing kandy amp?

The K2 monobloc doesn't exist. The K2 power amp does, but its stereo, not bridgeable

TBVH, I can't remember. All I do know it was an all Caspian set-up, including CDP.

Is it a good bargan $900 for a pair of Roksan Caspian monoblock? In super mint condition. Not a single scratch or mark on the units.

Yes, that's a good price for a good amps. I used to own a Caspian M1 Pre and m1 mono blocs and was very happy with them. The mono blocs had a couple of minor scratches and pre + monos sold for £1400 on fleabay recently.

The selling price of £1400 is good. BTW, what speakers were driving? I Just order a pair of Roksan Caspian monoblock and am so excited of expecting them. I will try bi-amp with integrated driving HF and mono driving LF / mono driving both LR speakers.

Yep, I was pleased with it. They were mainly used with Monitor Audio PL100s. These are quite a difficult load at 4ohm nominal, but the Roksans coped with no problems and at high levels.

I got my Roskan caspian Mono blocks two weeks ago. Do I need to swap in a Caspian M1 preampifier with my Caspian M1 integrated amp?

No, you can use your Caspian integrated as a Pre-amp or alternatively you can use it to drive your tweeters (if you like the idea of bi-amping).

Roksan's Reuben also suggest bi-amping. Just wonder a delicate Caspian M1 preampifier is more refine and detail ?
