Members DanielRaible Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Anyone had any experience with both? I am looking at reacquiring my old Triaxis rig. I used to use the 2:90 and I really liked it, but I am interested in knowing if the Strategy 500 would be sonically superior with the Triaxis, or just bigger and louder. Are there any tonal differences between them? Warmth, 3D depth, clarity, punch, etc? Thanks for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scepter Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 *waits for El Grinder* I've only had a 2:90, it worked fine for me, I don't know if I would need the amount of headroom the 500 would give me or the volume, jeez I thought the 2:90 was plenty loud enough.

Members petejt Posted April 27, 2009 Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'd love to have the Strategy 500, not because of the volume, but because it has Simul-Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillyCorgan Posted April 28, 2009 Members Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've owned both. The 2:90 sounded dead compared to my Strategy 500. There was just something about the tone i couldn't stand. The S500 will NEVER be sold. Had it for 6 years or so now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members injected Posted May 7, 2009 Members Share Posted May 7, 2009 i havent tried the strategy 500 but i hear nothing but amazingness about it, that its one of the best power amps ever. I love the VHT 2/50/2 personally. Has amazing full thick harmonic tone, and its alot cheaper than the s500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted May 20, 2009 Members Share Posted May 20, 2009 In fact I reckon I'd take the Rectifier 2:100 over the 2:90, if I couldn't get a Strategy 500 or 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
