I owned Martin Logan SL3s for many years and used a BAT VK500 ss amp....the Stat panels dip real low in impedance. I also heard the those Logans with a 35 watt tube amp and the sound staging was surreal so I guess it depends on the damping factor of the amp?? Those with the big tech knowledge could probably explain exactly what kind of tube rig would have synergy with your speakers
Looking for great tube integrated for Martin Logan Summit X speakers
I've had upgrade fever every since I added bass traps and acoustic panels to my listening room and wondered why I didn't do that years ago. So I've decided to change my Plinius Hautonga integrated and make the plunge to tubes. I want that sound, and the thought of tube rolling appeals to me. I was leaning toward the Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated, but after doing more reading, I'm concerned that it won't have adequate power due to the Summit's impedance needs. I'm admittedly a novice with tubes, so seeking help from the forum. My room is about 12x15, with the area behind my listening position open for an additional eight feet. I don't listen at high volumes at all, and my favorite music is female jazz, smooth jazz, Nora Jones type vocals. Music comes from SACDs and Tidal exclusively - I have no analogue gear.
