[size=9.5pt]SR80i with an amp or SR225i/325is/MS2i without it?[/size][size=9.5pt][/size]
[size=9.5pt] [/size]
[size=9.5pt]I have a pair of SR80i, and $200+ worth of amps and DACs and I figured I could sell the amps, and for little extra cash get a pair of SR325is or MS2i. I will have to wait for a while before I get a new DAC/Amp.[/size]
the one thing that always amazed me with the SR80i is how great it sounds without any amping. The 225 was not bad without an amp but I preferred the sound of the 80 over it. More depth/3D and smoother highs, the 325 i don't reccomend using without an amp as you really need a good source to hear the benefits of the 325. it's like putting in a 500 horse power engine into your car but not upgrading the tires, all the extra muscle can't be transferred into anything useful.
