What preamp are you using?
Recommendation for tube amp.
I’m exploring getting a tube amplifier to drive my GoldenEar Triton 1 speakers.
Sensitivity: 92dB/2.83V/m. Impedance: 8 ohms
I’d like to spend in the $2000-$2500 range.
Are there any quality tube amps in that price range that would effectively drive these speakers?
I listen mainly to classical music. Amp has to have enough power to rise to powerful orchestral climaxes.
I’d appreciate any help in searching.

These Quicksilver mono amps would be a nice fit! Plenty of power for those speakers! http://quicksilveraudio.com/products/midi-mono/ |
I owned the Triton 1s for a year. You don't need that much mustard as it's just a couple mid drivers and a tweeter (woofs are powered). I used a variety on mine, including PrimaLuna and Rogue Cronus Mag amps, both tubed. But to your question: van Alstine - UltraValve will set you up for life, or the life of your T1s anyhoots. |
Last year at Axpona the Primaluna room was paired with GoldenEar speakers. I believe those were the Triton Reference though I’m not sure. Amp was Primaluna Dialogue Premium and preamp. That combination sounded really good. I was quite surprised because I heard the Triton 1’s at a local dealer the weekend before and they didn’t do a thing for me (at the dealer they were mated with cheaper solid state but for the life of me I can’t remember which brand). But at Axpona they were really singing well with the PL stuff. Used you could probably find a PL Dialogue Premium within your budget. Best of luck. |
