What Integrated To Match Cremona Audiors


Hey people

Just wanted you ideas on views for matching a good amp to the cremona auditors = looking at either the levinson 383 but heard this has many technical problems and the other was the musical fidelity tri vista 300.

The rest of the kit is as follows :

Sony DVP-S9000es DVD/SACD Player

Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista DAC 21

Kimber Select 1030 interconnects

JAV Audio Digital Interconnect

Kimber 3035 speaker cable

PS audio P300

Let me know what you guys think - am open to suggestions for other amps etc - around about the 4/5000 dollar mark

I listened to the ML383 and MF Tri Vista 300 amongst the other super integrateds available (except the DK Designs which are not available in Singapore) through my Guarneris.

The Tri Vista worked best in my system being airy, detailled and fluid at the same time.
I bought the MF and have been using it for a couple of years now and don't miss my previous set up of AR LS22 pre and ML3 power amp combo.
Look at the Jeff Rowland Concerto integarted as well. Very small integrated with I think 250 watts per channel. Not that you need it with the Auditors, but I'll bet it would sound nice. Also, I'd be tempted to look at tubed integrated with those speakers. The Trivista would probably be nice, but may be much more power than you need.
You may want to add the new Transistor Research Labs (solid state division of Tube Research Labs) ST-225 integrated to your short list. It has 225 watts/channel, 3 inputs and 45 step attenuators. Price is $5500.

If that isn't powerful enough they also have a 550 watt/channel integrated, the ST-550.

Best,
Jack
