Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp

Paul
are you still available, I was told to ask you about tubes

Mr Blume thought his Franks could drive my Hales T 8's any opions on that

Abruce,
I have a lot of respect for Israel Blume and his superb products(just look at my system page). Your speaker is very similar to the T-5 model.This speaker is 85-86 sensitivity,4 ohm load that dips below 3 ohms and has a high phase angle in the midrange.

I don`t believe an 8 watt SET amp that lacks 'any' negative feedback is a good match. Your speaker would seem to require a high power SS amplifier that can drive lower load impedances and has some NFB in the circuit.

The Frankenstein is superb, but only if matched with the proper speaker.
Regards,

Would these amps be quiet enough for Avantgarde speakers? 102 Db.

Thanks

I absolutely adore these amplifiers, but reluctantly just put mine up for sale in order to get more power for my Coincident PREs.  I previously had Coincident Super Eclipse IIIs and would not consider a different amplifier for those speakers.  In any case, I thought I'd bump the thread in case anyone's on the lookout for a pair.  Mine have over $1500 in upgrades over stock.
