Thanks for the input. I really like the sizing for my shelf I have available. If the sound is excellent, then that's just icing on the cake. I figure with the Heresy's I should have enough volume to be happy with that low of an output.
Triode Lab 2A3S - Any Insights?
Hi Fellas,
I've been looking at a Triode Labs 2A3S SET tube amp to run a pair of Klipsch Heresy 3's. I also have a Benchmark DAC3 and Rogue RP-7 pre in the chain. I have a few sources in the mix as well.
My shelf space is limited so I can't use a bigger amp like a XA25, which was my first choice. That said, SET's have been something I was looking at trying as I think they should play well with the Heresy's. The Triode Labs sizing is exactly perfect for the shelf I have available, and I think I can afford it. I don't seem to find much info on these in the wild, so I'f love to hear from anyone with experience on these amps.
Thanks in advance!

@joeinid The answer to your question depends on your ears. Some guys like the 300b. I'm not a fan. I like 45 tubes. Others don't. The 2A3 is somewhere in between. If I had to pick the best sounding SET amp I ever heard it would probably be an AD1 amp built by Thomas Meyer. It was an extremely seductive sound. If you want more information, this guy has a great website: http://www.glowinthedarkaudio.com/thoughts-opinions.html |
