I had the same problem with my Uno's. Tubes sounded great but were a pain. I have THE answer. Aleph 3 (not 30). Avantgardes website used to have a few recommended amps on their website. The Aleph 3 was the only SS amp listed. This amp has cult statis for good reason. You can buy one for less than $1000 on Audiogon. If you get one and don't like it, don't worry about trying any other SS amps. If the Aleph 3 doesn't do it for you, no SS amp will. Just my experienced opinion.

I'm curious..with all the great amplifiers out there,why only Pass? I know of a previous Decware SV83 monoblocks owner ,who replaced them with the Pass First watt F1.He then upgraded to the Clari T Amp from it. That sounds funny doesn't it. Uprgrading from a $2500 amp to a $500 one.LOL With a no risk 30 day return policy ..you have absolutely nothing to lose..well maybe $10 for return shipping. I seriously doubt you would return it. There is a review by Positive Feedback already scheduled Positive Feedback preview . After this review comes out, prepare to wait.The line will be looooong! |
The Aleph 30 was specifically recommended by Avantgarde. I gather it is one of the best solid state amps for these speakers and works extremely well with my Trios. I also have a Pass X150 that can be a little bright unless the preamp tubes are very mellow. You won't go wrong with the Aleph 30. It is an exceptional amp. Good luck! Chuck |
