Boulder arrives at Suncoast Audio

I recently auditioned the 866 Integrated - quite a new one too. It was almost warm in its presentation. It was smooth textural and had loads of power. I was very impressed - as i too recall the older Boulder sound that was a little clinical.

Additionally i was at a friends house who has some 3000 components hooked up to M Projects........ fabulous sound
 
Looking at the gear you hold and sell, one can only say respect and bow down - no more no less...hope someday to have a chance to visit your store.
 
Boulder Boner!

The integrated looks much better in your photos and I hear good things about it, and it’s not a crazy price IMO

I’m spending the morning listening and making more notes. Right now just listening to the 1110 and 2160.

This amp is class A all the way.

Also, I am really impressed with what I call my baby Boulder 508 phono amp - no options, fully balanced -$5K

Yes, they say it’s so popular and they can’t keep up. About a 4-6 week wait. The new integrated too.

I will tell you guys, this 2160/1110 is absolutely incredible. Here are my thoughts so far:


1. Ridiculous sound staging.
2. Acoustic instruments are Renderer in a three dimensional beautiful manner.
3. Top end is smooth.
4. Bass is powerful
5. Wonderful decay on instruments
6. This amp DOES NOT sound at all like solid state. It’s beautiful class A all the way.
7. This amp is so musically engaging. It's hard to explain just how musical this amp is.
8. Dynamic. This amp is snappy. Toe tapping.
9. This amp creates a soundscape that puts you in the front row with the music just surrounding you.
10. Wonderful bass control
11. This amp out D'ags the D'ag.
12. Instruments just hang in the air

Yowza!
Congrats Mike!

I've never seriously looked at the specs before.
Monster amps indeed!
If you tell me that they can be brutal and subtle at the same time, they must be winners.
 
Great gear. You'll do very well with it. Once again, a phenomenal match with Magico. I've heard it a few times at Goodwin's. Are you dropping any lines to make room???

Yes, not sure if you caught it, but I dropped constellation.

Hi Mike,

As I know you are a VAC dealer, I am curious to hear how you like pairing the VAC pre-amps with the Boulder amps. In my system I use a VAC Statement Preamp paired with Boulder 2160 driving Focal Stella EVO. I find this combination to be pure magic, the VAC front end pairs incredibly well with the muscle of the boulder pure class A.

Some details tell me when the manufacturer knows what he is doing.
The care placed on the power plugs is one of those signs.
They clearly do not leave a weak point like that to chance, hoping that the customer may - or may not- buy a Furutech ncf booster...
 
Suncoast Audio is officially the heaviest hitter of high end audio. Constantly redefining itself to continue to thrive in this tough business.

M3s getting air time with Boulder combo, Mike?

Thanks for the kind comments. I work very hard to curate the best audio products from around the globe and Boulder and Magico are definitely tops!

The M3’s were sold just recently. I had them for four years! I have M2’s, A3’s, A5’s (coming), S3 Mk2, etc. But yes, M2’s will definitely be getting a test on the big Boulder.
