In Reply to: Ashly FET 500... Initial Imprssions posted by ka7niq on April 21, 2004 at 20:41:40:
I have messed around with a smaller Ashly amp, the FET 200. Your observations don't surprise me too much. I was running a pair of NEAR 10M's (small monitors with 5" aluminum woofer and aluminum inverted dome tweeter) in my basement with it. Percussion and bass (what the monitor could produce) sounded very tight and authoritative. Overall, the setup was just too fatiguing, though, so I moved on and eventually would up with a Continuum Audio Stage - which seems to do everything very well. I always suspected that with the right speakers in the right room, something a little on the warm side of neutral, the Ashly would acquit itself nicely. I now have Ellis Audio 1801's in my main rig, which now resides in a different (drywall and carpet) room, so it would be interesting to pull the old Ashly back into service.
I have also had a smaller Parasound amp (the HCA-800), which was really quite good in most regards - very fast and detailed, but maybe a little lean running small monitors in a live, basement room. I believe it ran in class A for about the first watt before shifting to AB, which may explain why yours sounded good with high efficiency horns.
