A review here
 
Can't wait to hear David's thoughts on it. Is it me or is there something really alluring about the simplicity of Solution's design?? Pretty piece.
 
Honestly, it was the best amplification I've heard at David's. And we compared quite a few rigs.
Not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for I guess.
 
I agree

Last time I was at Davids, it was the best thing we listened to also. I was surprised because I really haven't liked past versions of Solution gear.

Jock, I am not surprised to hear this as the 5 series led them to rethink the new 7 series.
 
That is true. The 5 series sounded better than the 7. But with the same type of PS in the 7 series the level of performance has been stepped up. I must say I was not real excited about the sound until I put the 520 preamp in the system. Big time now!
 
I agree with David. The synergy between the Soulution amps and preamps is pure magic. I borrowed the 501 monos and was not blown away. Put the 500 series preamps in and viola! Different story altogether. If you haven't already heard the new 711 amp, it's worth a trip to David's to hear what might be the best electronics on the planet.

Hi David, yes, I agree totally about the 520 preamp, it's special. Everytime I get something else into my system to replace it, nothing has made me look twice yet.
 
Kev - you think the 501's could drive the 20.7's? Curious...

Mike, that I'm not so sure on. Having had experience with panels in an everyday environment gives you some insight into the intricacies of instant power & whats in reserve. Sure, someone will come along & say well I heard this & thats not right , but for me, having 2000w at 4ohms on tap & hearing the exact same with 900w @ 4 ohms, I can honestly refer this one to the V8 boys, "there is no replacement for displacement. Sure they will do it, how good will be another thing indeed when the volume gets turned up. Hell I've even clipped my Sanders monos with all that power.
 
I have not listened to the 501's but if they can drive D3's I would think they could handle just about any speaker. I think the 711 cranks out 90 amps of current and when listening it gives you the sense of unlimited power. It seems it would never run out of horsepower.
 
Shootout today at Design Audio Video. The new Hegel H30/P30 versus the reigning champ Soulution 711/520. I think I can place odds on which will ultimately prevail, but will the challenger land any punches before the knockout blow? Or will the rope-a-dope technique of the challenger wear the champ out in the final rounds? Time will tell. Ding-Ding.
 
What speakers?

Will you be taking cost into consideration or is this a flat out "winner takes all"?

Roughly, the Soulution gear is 6 times more expensive than the Hegel. Come on Hegel! :)

Will Constellation be given consideration today?
