Re: Boulder 1161
I have the 1160 here. The 1161 is a slightly smaller version. Excellent amp, just don’t hear the 2160, you’ll be ruined.

Re: Boulder 1161
It’s like a Porsche Carrera S; a great car until you drive the Turbo S. Both excellent but the Turbo S is fabulous.

Re: Boulder 1161
I love the Porsche analogy as I am looking for a 911 myself. As much as a Turbo S is stupendous but a regular 997 C2S/C4S is what hits the spot for me. Originally Posted by Ritmo

Re: Boulder 1161
We've got it here for demo in Stockholm, Sweden.
What would you like to know, and which speakers are you planning to combine it with potentially?

Re: Boulder 1161
Depends where you live. In a warm climate, I would prefer the C2S. Both excellent cars. Originally Posted by Bob82

Re: Boulder 1161
I have the Kharma S7S that I potentially would like to pair the Boulder 1161 with. Originally Posted by Perfect Sense

Re: Boulder 1161
Thx for the offer but if I get a C2S, it has to be the 992. Altho the new vette is a steal.
Back to Boulder...._______________

Re: Boulder 1161
Picking this thread back up, has anyone spent some time with the 1161 and get a sense of how it compares to the 1160 and/or the 866?

Re: Boulder 1161
It sounds the same as the 1160, just a little less power. Originally Posted by divertiti
