how good is the sun audio sv2a3

I have a mac 240, jadis da60, mccormack dna.05 special edition and the sun audio sv 2A3. I do most of my listening now with the 3.5 watt sun audio in my 12 x 19 room. Speakers are montana 2, 90 db 4.2 ohm impedance. The amp is really that good with the kind of music I listen to- mostly vocals. Try norah jones (anyone of two cds) and find out what the 2A3 is capable of. Prepare to be surprised or probably this is already old news.

Eugneli,

I'm using Vons Schweikert Audio DB-99s. Also tried VR1s driven by the 2A3s. I am currently using a suped up Sun Audio design diy 2A3 that uses Tango trannies. Both speakers sound awesome with this amp. I did order a hotrodded Sun Audio 2A3 and will be picking it up hopefully next week.

sorry, misread the previous question adn thought you were asking what speakers I match the 2A3s with. Cables I will use are Audience Au24s (connected to a different system right now). At the present, I'm using Analysis Plus silver.

Thanks Ksroy. Do you feel using Analysis Plus silver is a little bright? Of course I'm not sure which preamp you're using. What I'll hook up with the SV2A3 is SP9 MKII and the speaker is the TAD TSM300, the small horn.

Not bright at all. My pre-amp is an ARC LS-16 using NOS Mullard and Telefunken 6922 tubes.

Has anyone tried the Sun Audio SVC-500 preamp with the SV2A3? Any comments would be very much appreciated.
