Electrocompaniet, how does it sound?

lumanauw · 16th January 2005, 09:22 AM

Does anyone has a chance to hear the Electrocompaniet/Otala amplifier? How does it sound? And how does it performs compared to more "recently" designs?

I will be happy to hear someone answering that Lumanauw thread.

As i also want to know.

And also compared with something we all know...let's see..JLH..or other one known

regards,

Carlos

Which Electrocompaniet model ?

ashok · 16th January 2005, 12:06 PM

How about any one that you have heard .
Especially the older ones. If they sound different...........

Older ones ( EC) against newer known amps.

Yes, comment on any amp. The products inself are rare, and the factory is closed now.

It sounds GREAT! I bought my first one, 30 years ago. I have another in my lab sound system.

There is a piece of scanned old "review" that says Electrocompaniet amp (25W) is "the best amplifier" but cannot be bought in USA (at that time).

JC, do you use it for benchmarking, or is it only for your collection?

Hi John (Curl),
Would it be possible for you to compare it against any other amp. Say a Bryston (3b!) or something else that is made more recently?

I know this might not mean too much without taking into account the rest of the system. However if you have an opinion I would like to hear about it.
Thanks.
Ashok.

Thanks to diyaudio member Tubenut i once spent an evening listening to the AW180 monoblocks. For solid state they are absolutely sublime. Natural, non-exagerated, well extended sound with good soundstage. If i had to live with SS this (or more likely a diy copy) would be my choice.
