Winter Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The PA5 mk2 is the one to go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F18 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Not a good match synergy wise with the NS1000. Same applied for the Krell KSA100, 150 which have reliability issues, they are all bright sounding amplifiers with a treble overshoot. These amps pop up for cheap on the US ebay domain.

THOMO Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 You probably want to hear a Bakoon amp with your NS1000s. That is the best I have heard the NS1000s sound.Not an obvious choice because you would think a warm smooth sounding sort of amp would suit them best and the Bakoons are more very clear and vivid sounding [but very natural sounding with it]. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Tim I agree with Thomo, definitely give a Bakoon a listen. Amazing amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steever Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I heard a PA7 through B&W Matrix 3's a number of times. Phenomenal. I'd love one myself. It was matched with the CA7 and OMS7 and Monster M-Series cabling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. Both amps are identical except for the topology circuitry. In fact mkll Users claim it sounds better then the original which has a birds nest of wiring... I own a MKll AND a CA 5ll preamp and its phono section is superb!
