SS Amp for Triangle Speakers

I think most here didn't notice Sean's tongue in cheek recommendation of speaking to the outside world's expert on Triangle speaker - Sam Tellig.

Knowing the history between the two (can't call Sam a gentleman), I found it hilarious!

The only thing Sean may have forgotten is that Sam would DEFINITELY recommend Musical Fidelity solid state amplification with Triangle speakers...

Joe: I was wondering if anybody was going to catch that. As far as calling Sam a "gentleman", maybe that's our problem. That is, it's hard to have a gentleman-like conversation between two people ( Sam & I in specific ) when neither of them is a gentleman : ) Sean

Triangle's tend to be a pretty sensitive speaker. Tube or even hybrid would make sound extremely well, if you like the warmth of the lamps. If you have the money (slightly over the two grand for used) I recommend the Viva. I met the engineer in NY two weeks ago and that was his best match to his amp. I would also go for the Audio Aero or the Thule. Unison Research (the hybrid) may suit them extremely well too if you like (again) the bias of the tubes. Hope this helps.

Triangles sound a lot better with tubed gear.

I have heard once a triangle floorstander with pathos hybrid integrated amp. It was a nice sound.
