A tubed integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars?
Thanks. I think some of you are just throwing amps out there without comment. I mean, the Line Magnetic is 22wpc. Have you actually used this thing with Pulsars. Have any of you? I know ALL the amp companies practically. I'm looking for voices of experience WITH THESE SPEAKERS, not amp recommendations. |
We may be able to help we have the Synthesis A 100T a 100 watt Class A/B Kt 66 tube integrarted from Italy it drives 87db efficient speakers beautifully. We never sold the Pulsars but did sell their spiritual clones which are speakers from Source Technologies, Source Technolgies is a small CT speaker company run by John Socilito the JS Engineering owner, which were the original infinite slope loudpeakers, John sold the rights to this technology to Jeff Joseph and Joseph Audiio was born. We had a $3k set of monitors from Source that use the same Seas Magnesium woofer as the Pulsars with a different tweeter. Many of the same hallmarks between the two speakers sonically, huge sundstage, very good bass response, a fast clean overall sound. The Syntheis is a stunning sounding, very powerful tube integraed using the famous KT 66 tube in a push pull configuration, the A100T also comes with a very good $3k dac board which was used in Synthesis’s outboard dac, this dac board sounds really good and includes both usb and spdif inputs and the amp even has a full function remote. So for $7.5 k you get a fantastic amp and a $3k dac just add a streamer and you are good to go. The A100T is very good in all parameters it has a great soundstage, is warm but not tuby, has good bass control throws a huge soundstage and is also low in noise. this is one of our favorite amplifiers below $10k http://synthesis.co.it/product.php?id=32 Syntheis is a relatively unknown brand in the US but is well respected in Italy. If you are on the East coast you should come and hear this amp we have it on display it is really fantastic. Dave and Troy Audio Doctor Sythesis Audio dealers |
