Hi
It would but you wouldn’t like it
It works just fine with 7’s, 11’s and quite good with 19’s

I wouldn’t consider the 40s without a 250DR.

What’s upstream Rick?

Also, have you considered a NAP200DR?

The 200DR will only help him if he powers a pre with it, but alas there is no system list in the profile

My streamer is a Linn akurate dsm

Hi my system is melco hardrive,Linn akurate dsm kat, accuphase e380 amp,ATC 40 MK2.

8

As this is an integrated, are you considering to run its line out into the 200?

9

No replace the accuphase amp

10

I see. The Accu has more output power, though :slight_smile: What preamp are you planning to use? Or direct from the Linn into the 200?

11

I was thinking of NAC 202 or 282

12

Things are becoming clearer :slight_smile: What don’t you like about the Accuphase & SMC40 that you hope the 200 will do better? It might help others to give advice

It sounds abit lean & boring not exciting

My understanding is that the lower damping factor of Naim amplifiers will give you a fuller bass, when compared with an amp with high damping factor such as your Accuphase.

Iam led to believe the pre out on my Linn is pretty good so a 250dr or 300dr.

I know in theory the answer is no

But I have the 200. I have Totem Forests which I think are power hungry. I have no problem. The volume knob never goes past 10:00. You may have success

You put a 250DR or a 300DR on those Forests and you will realize just what you are missing … I had a 200 on a pair of Totem Hawks and thought just like you … wake them up and you’ll be amazed.
