Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II


Currently I'm using a Sonic Frontier Power 3SE+, SF Line 3SE+ and Modwright Transporter with my Andra IIs. For the summer, I'm looking for a SS integrated amp that could drive my Andra IIs. All the tubes in my system can get too hot in the summer to enjoy the music.

Can someone recommend a SS integrated that can drive the Andra? I'm thinking Pass INT-150, Gamut DI-150, Rowland Continuum 500 and McIntosh MA7000.

Thanks!

Jprice ,

Why did you change from E.W to the SF´s?
Any comments ?

Thanks.

Vintagechile,

I have two systems at my home and both had "big" speakers.(Eggleston Andra II and Avalon Eidolon) I had been looking for a pair of monitor type speakers that would offer performance at about the same quality as the Egglestons and I think I came very close with the S.F. Mementos.

I changed mostly because of space requirements and because my wife appreciated a more modest looking set-up in a room that she wanted to reclaim as a family-use room. (Somehow she thought one dedicated listening room was enough)

Jprice,
Thanks for you answer.
I understand you since I also own 2 systems at home but on a different direction than yours .
My choice is to have different approaches on each system.
One is based on SET amps + Tannoy Canterbury and the other right now is built around the E.W.
Before the EW I had JBL 4350 + SET amps on that system but got tired of the same sound on 2 different places.
Which is better ... who cares , I cant live without both.

Jprice,

I think you should seriously consider having your wife see a professional. How can anyone think that one dedicated listening room enough?! It's either that or I think it is time for you to sign the committment papers to send her to an asylum! (Which would probably be for the best; just as long as you don't send her to the Audio Ayslum!) ;-)
