I heard a Carver Crimson 275 amp at the DC show and I thought it sounded very nice. A dealer on Audiogon has it listed (for a new unit) at $2750.
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.

I for a time, I was using a Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated to power my GE Triton Ones. I didn’t care for it very much. I dislike the sound of the KT120 tubes as they sound a little grainy to me. I eventually went with a McIntosh 200wpc Integrated to drive the Triton Ones and they sound great. I am am running the GE Triton Refs speakers with a 300wpc McIntosh power amp and it is even better. |
