A1 vs A1.5 vs M1.1

[Elliot G.]

@Elliot G. and others, Since you mentioned that the M1.1 was superior in every aspect to the A1.5, if I understood correctly.. What would you advise as a superior set up if you had to choose between one M1.1 in Stereo or two A1.5's that you can use as mono's in bridged mode?
Also would like to know if anyone has done any comparisons with Vitus Amps and the differences they have noted between the two?
Thanks!

First I am not a fan of bridged anything. Using two amps in mono is different and that is better. I still believe that an M1.1 is better than a pair of A1.5 in everyway. I don't have nor sell Vitus so I wont make any comments about competitors that is for you to decide. I have listened to a whole lot of power amplifiers and I first bought the CH for my speakers as I thought it was the best gear I had heard. I later on decided to become a dealer and I have turned a lot of people on to it. They have traded many different brands in on them however Vitus was not one since I don't know anyone that owns them. I hope that helps. What speakers are you playing with?

Thanks Elliot, will probably be using Raidho speakers... TD 4.2 or 3.8

Now I am in the situation to choose between A1.5 and M1.1 (stereo). Sabrina X in a 20 sqm room. Any recommendations?

In your opinion would be CH Precision A1.5 (with L1) enough powerful to drive new Sasha V (88dB vs 91dB of old Sasha Daw)?

Without a doubt.

3dB less compared to Daw ins't a bit

CH M1.1 impossible for me ($)

Just received my M1.1 and it is outstanding. Absolutely lives up to the hype.

I have the same doubt, almost one year later! anyone?

The CH M1.1 is clearly superior in ambition, design and performance. It might be overkill for Sabrina in terms of power and investment though depending on the level and balance of the rest of your system, room size etc.

Thanks! But is it "too much" for a 20 sqm room?
Mine is 3,5m x 7m, YG Summit speakers and most of the day I listen 60/70db.

What's the rest of your system?

I have TAD D600 CD/SACD player, Nagra Classic Pre and a Gryphon Essence amp.

I've been trying this week a pair of Nagra classic mono amp, very happy with the detail, separation, bass.. they are perfect with jazz and classical, but when I play rock (Quadrophenia's Who, for example) I miss the "meat" of the Gryphon.
I don't know if it's the Nagras, the silver interconectors, the 70's recordings, my room...
I was thinking go full Nagra but I really miss something.
The clarity of the Nagra and the meat of the Gryphon it would be perfect

I just discover reading this forum and reviews that CH, besides the swiss detail, has some "tubelike" that can give me the "meat".
But, of course, if I go CH I have to change my preamp too :/

Or maybe I can upgrade my Gryphon going Antileon but I don't know if it can give me the clarity and detail that I just discover with the Nagra.

Thanks for your interest

Merry Christmas!

It's hard to make real judgements or to give proper recommendations on a distance sometimes without knowing you better.

That being said, my general advice would be to find a clearer path and potentially reduce the number of brands if possible. Based on what you're listing and describing, I would choose the CH Precision L1 + A1.5 as the foundation with obvious synergy combining power with finesse. It's also a proven combination with Wilson Audio in general.

I've also got a client combining CH D1.5/C1.2 with Ypsilon PST-100 MK2/Hyperion hybrids with great overall results together with Wilson Alexia.

I would choose the CH Precision L1 + A1.5

I saw you have on sale in your store A1.5. Could it be you will have on sale L1 too?

The A1.5 is a trade in from a client upgrading to M1.1 with very demanding speakers. It's recently sold to a local client who will also add the L1 to his system.
