Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?

It's only an issue if the preamp passes any DC. According to Srajan's review, some tube preamps could. If you put a passive preamp on the Job you might be better off.

Anybody think the 225 would work with Vandersteen 2CE Sig II's or Treo's? I just read the 6moons review and I can't help wondering.

Joe, Norman tells me both of you have your eyes on a passive for the Job. Keep us updated.

Robertsong,

Specs on 2CE Sigs is as follows:

IMPEDANCE:
7 ohms nominal 4 ohms minimum.

SENSITIVITY:
86dB with 2.83 volts of pink noise input at 1 meter on axis.

RECOMMENDED AMPLIFICATION:
40 to 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms.

The Treo is similar. So my opinion is as long as you don't play concert level you will be fine. They are an easy impedance load so I would not worry. I bet you will be amazed at how good the Job 225 sounds.

Devilboy,

Yes. I should know the details is a few days and receive in a couple of months. Stay tuned.

Hey, I just wanted to tell everyone that Ric Shultz from tweek audio dot com loves the Job 225 (calls it a giant killer), and he lists mods he provides to it. As I wright this, price has not been set.
