What amps do you use with your Akurate DS or DSM?
Hi folks, just curious to get an idea of the variety of amplifiers people use with their Akurate DS or Akurate DSM systems?

If going for ADSM, then Akurate 2200 is the obvious choice for passive 109s and Majik 6100 for aktiv 109 (+ aktiv cards and additional speaker cabling.)

Someone recently posted that 2200 is more musical than 6100 aktiv (using 109s), using Tune Dem, but not compared myself. Can you dem these two options or are you buying second hand?

Obviously 2200 would look nicer.

Buying new. Following some dems I'm looking to determine whether I should go Akurate DS or Akurate DSM, the DSM option negating the need for a. Kontrol preamp, so indeed thought that Akurate 2200 a good option perhaps?

I've only compared the KDSM to KDS/KK, not Akurate level, so wouldn't like to comment on that, but you have a dealer to help make that decision via a dem.
