Which Amp for ML Ascent i?

I have the ML Odysseys and use a 352 with stunning sound results.

Have you had a chance to listen to the Aragon line of amps. I just heard them the other night. They sounded fantastic. 200 watts for about $1500. Not bad.

I have an older set of ReQuests and here are some of my observations.

The ML's do like power, all of your choices should be sufficient in that regard.

I originally had my ReQuests hooked up to a McCormick DNA-1 Deluxe, but I wanted a bit more bloom and richer tonality.

I tried a Mark Levinson 332, an Air Tight that I can't remember the model number of (georgeous sound, but not enough UMPH!), the Ayre V5x and finally a set of Roque Audio M-120 Magnums.

The Levinson and Ayre were very close, with the Levinson providing an immense soundstage, but the Ayre providing more of the liquidity I was searching for.

To be honest I ended up getting the Rogue's though as they seemed to my ears to provide the best qualities of the other amps in one package. In talking with Mark O'Brian after I had ordered the amps he told me that he had voiced the M-120 on the ReQuests, so I managed to discover a great synergy. Perhaps you should add them to your short list.

Happy listening

I have the Ascents,and I power them with the Pass X-150. Its a great match. Its very musical with plenty of slam,and very detailed. If you can spend 5K, the X-250 or X-350 would be a incredible match with your Ascents.
