METAXAS IKARUS INTEGRATED AMP
Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2010 5:29 pm
I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this topic, but since I'm particularly interested in a brand that I believe has been out of the market for quite some time, Technical Archives seem a logical forum.
The brand I'm referring to is Metaxas.... the model, IKARUS
The reason for my sudden recall of this small wonder ( in terms of wattage & size, and also in terms of company name ), is that I recently bumped into someone, who I can consider as my "audio" mentor. I frequented his audio store Sound Advice here in Bacolod religiously during the early '90s. When you were nuts about hi-fi during that time, and you live in Bacolod, Tata Salgado is the person to go to.
The Ikarus sounded magical no matter what speakers it was hooked up with, if I remember correctly, it was paired with, among others... Vandersteen 1Bs ( the Ikarus drived it decently ), the better Tannoy Sixes model/s.
If anyone still owns this wonder amp, what speakers do you pair it with now? What other speakers are recommended?
