okay, here we go again...


what integrated amp capable of driving Innersound Isis electrostatic speakers?...below $2700...is there anything out there for me?...don't need phono and can be tubes or hybrid...
iasi
Iasi- It would help if you included a little info such as: how many sources does the integrated need to accommodate (if CD only, what player will you use?), the size room and typical spl level at which you like to listen? Depending on the above answers, would a separate pre and power amp be a consideration if kept at your desired budget? You'll need to give a little bit more info, if the responses will have any hope of value.
that's the problem...i want to move away from pre/power amp combination that i have right now...i'm usually listening to about 90-95 dbl the loudest passages...my room is 23X18X8...and i need inputs for only one source, the cd player...
You'll need serious driving (current, etc) abilities for the speakers; three products that come to mind are Symphonic Line rg10 (i heard this recently), YBA Passion integre, MAYBE the Pathos integrated (tube hybrid).I liked the sonic qualities of all three. (Doesn't Innersound offer an integrated?)
I've heard them drive difficult loads but NOT the Isis, so please check them out if interested. Cheers
I have Acoustat electrostats in my second system , a notoriously tough load for amplifiers. I have been using a Musicial Fidelity A300 Intergrated for over a year with no problems at all. It seems to control the Acoustats with no loss of dynamics or bass response. Good luck.
