I have had SS gear all my life and know nothing about tubes but thinking about changing over. I have done some research but need to do a lot more. How does AR gear rank in the tube status quo? I currently have Krell SS gear with Wilson W/P 7's. Thanks
Back in the 70s ARC used to be the number one manufacturer of tube gear, but nowadays there are a lot of great companies that make tube gear; Cary is one of them.
And, what´s about the combination between AR preamp and Krell amplifier. Does anybody have expierence on that? I was recomended that option by my local dealer and would like any opinion.
The ARC 100.2 is way more musical than the similarly priced Krells and would be a much better choice IMO. If you want more than 100 wpc, though, you have to look elsewhere.
I am thinking of adding a tube pre (AR?) with the Krell amps and going from there. That may be a solution. I have heard good things about the AR ref 2 mk II. Any thoughts?
