Topping PA5 Speaker Listening Tests
I am confident of the transparency of this amplifier with respect to noise and distortion. However, I was curious how far its power goes. So I hooked up the PA5 to my Infinity Reference 253 speaker. I must stay, I was not prepared for the level of impact, fidelity and overall quality of the sound. The PA5 grabbed the ears of this speaker and pulled it any direction music asked it to like nobody's business! There was thundering bass. Superb high frequency and ability to fill my space despite only playing one speaker. It was hard to imagine this little amplifier powering this speaker so beautifully.
Thank you for your review – and in a certain sense it makes sense to test this little amp with cheap speakers. However the Infinity Reference 253 are rubbish. For that price there would be many other good speakers. It would be interesting to see the PA5 in action with something good, or even something of a higher class.
