Especially when there will be many used SIA-025's on the market for less than half the price. It better be a great 5 watts.......
Especially when there will be many used SIA-025's on the market for $15K or more less. It better be a great 5 watts.......
Well..... it looks nice from the photos. No reviews.. opinions etc. It was a pretty "hot" line for a while....
So... umm.. has anyone seen or heard a SIA-030??? The mystery continues...
you would spend more to get the same, or much more to get really moreI think if I were going to spend this kind of money on amplification, I'd be looking first at separates.
At lower price points, I'd agree, but it's my belief that at some price point separates overcome some of the compromises made in integrating the amp/pre functions into a single chassis. (I'm opining here as a Gryphon Diablo 300 owner.)you would spend more to get the same, or much more to get really more
at some pricepoint there is no more integrated to compare
a diablo300 for about 15k....imho not possible any separates for that money will come close.
consider also the extra power cord, interconect and rack.
the sia30 for 30k, same story, no separates will do as good for the money.
that said, lol, i never heard neither the diablo nor the sia.
it is true that many highend integrated are more of a power amp with a reduced pre inside, still, cashrelativ they are not to beat.
