LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps.

Kenny,

Question - what's your opinion on the Nuprime ST-10.  I ordered the  MZ2 earlier this week and am considering the Nuprime.  My speakers will be the Spatial M3 which I just ordered this week as well.

I attended the LA Audio Show this past weekend specifically to listen to the Double Impacts and the Spatials.

The room and the equipment used to demo the Double Impacts did not do them any justice and I could not pull the trigger based on my listening experience.  The room was hosted by Positive Feedback and they were showcasing low cost, high value systems so there were multiple speakers and components.  For the Double Impacts, they were using  a Schiit Freya preamp and a Schiit pre-production amp. 

 Very unfortunate as I really wanted to like the Double Impacts.   I was able to sit in the designated sweet spot while listening.  In a dedicated Tekton room with different components, they  would probably sound great.  I just couldn't get past the way they sounded in that room.

Sorry for the long discourse!

Thanks,

Nick

Nick,

You might check out the thread titled,

Both the St-10 and the S-500 are really good examples of modern class d amps without breaking the bank.

That's a bummer to hear about the la show,I don't go to them anymore they are just not enjoyable to me.

I seriously considered the spatials and the pure audio project with the voxative full range driver but in our new smaller house I really don't have the correct room for them or panel speakers either.
But that's ok I really like my DI's.

When do you think you will get your MZ2,mine is supposed to be shipped by the end of next week.
I can't wait.

Best,

Kenny.

Thanks for the link Kenny.  I'll add the S-500 to review too.  I expect to receive my MZ2 by June 23rd.   Should be getting the speakers about the same time.  Can't wait!

Facten, I did get the Linear power supply.

Hello all,

Finally a MZ2 has arrived in my system,I'm using the tubes that were shipped with it for now,RCA 12sn7 and Ge 6201's.

This is most definitely going to be a game changer for me,I really don't want to turn it off and change tubes,maybe tomorrow.

I'm using the speaker outputs to pwr my 95db Tekton DI's.
