Hello,

I have been searching many months now, and saving, to upgrade from my NADc350. I have it narrowed down between about three amps but can only listen to one of them. They are the Audio refinement complete, Jolida 1501rc, and the Consonance B2000x. If anyone has some comments or stories about these amps I would appreciate it.

Has anyone on this planet listened to the Consonance B2000x? I can’t find any comments on this particular model, let alone any decent pictures. I have heard of a lot of good things about this company and I might be interested in this amp.

What would you guys recommend between these three? Speakers are Tannoy fusion 4 and source is the Onix xcd-88.

Thanks

I looked at the hybrid Jolidas when I was amp hunting, but I got a chance to listen to their 202a tube amp (~$800), and I was just so impressed, I bought it. The amp is very fast and transparent. Sound is magnificent on all frequencies.

Hey Tex, how does the Jolida do pushing those Dyn's? The Audience aren't terribly hard to push but they aren't very efficient either.

Tilbury I'm not familiar with those amps but you could try a www.google.com search to see what reviews and comments come up.
