Hi,
We have the JV5 working with the JB5s and Audioengine P4s, great match!
I have not tried it with the modded HFI-780s but sound great with the stock ones. Its a sweet little amp.
my roommate bought it from 32ohm, it sounded really great with the john blues. i think they are a great match.
does anyone know how the john blue speakers compare to the audio engine p4's? ive been really curious about this. i used to own the john blue's and thought they were incredible. how does the audioengines compare? im trying to decide between the john blues, but i'd like to get the p4's instead if they are close to the john blues.
Oh this is a good time to introduce the ALO speakers me and my shop mate are rolling out. They are small bookshelf speakers, single 3" drivers. We are making them out of Bamboo but these seen here are Jatoba, solid wood cabinet construction, and dual rear ports. approx 9 x 5.5 x 4.5. They sound great with plenty of bass.
The JV5 and iPod dock with these speakers are sweet. Retail for the Bamboo will be $289 a pair. I will be posting more info and photos on in a new thread later next week.
hi...
can i use this with my audio engine a5 and ipod as source...
will this make a change in the sound?
audioengine a5 has its own built in amp already...would this increase the sound quality of my ipod with them?

I have the Dared MP5.... which looks exactly like this amp. It's the same amp, right? Mine though use different tubes. They are 12AX7, came stock with some not so nice Ruby Con 12AX7s. I have replaced them with Tung Sol 12AX7s which I much prefer. Are the 6922/6DJ8 the same pin-type as the 12AX7s, or are these just refitted differently?
I have a newer version of the MP5 (new international version) which uses different tubes from the two older versions I know (Chinese version and US version).
Anyway, it's a bit late for the other people who asked here, but the MP5 I have definitely has enough juice for the K701. Incidentally, it has enough juice for the K1000, which I used to drive from this baby. The stock Ruby tubes sounded great with the K701, very airy soundstage, but the Tung Sols I used with them were much better, kept the same airy soundstage but added some extra warmth to the low end. I don't know how these sound with the 6922/6DJ8's.
As for specs, what I know is the speaker outs are 13W/channel, so check if that works with your Klipsch speakers.
By the way, the MP5 generally is a bright-sounding amp. I usually love it best with my darker sounding gear like the LCD2, Beats Solo HD, M50, SRH750, HD650, and my custom modded SR80 (which is darker than you'd ever imagine).
