Thanks for the response. I'm looking for Integrated Amp since this is for my living room.
Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT
Hi,
I have a pair of Vandersteen Treo CT speakers and looking for amp that goes with it. My budget is around 3k. I used to power them with Luxman L-509X and it was really good. I really do not want to spend 9k for another AMP and wanted to try a less expensive one. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

My apologies for no looking at the Simaudio unit first. I just assumed . Silly of me. The Musical Fidelity M6si is spot on what you are looking for then. Price is exactly $2999, 220w and circuitry that should sound really good with your Treo CTs. https://verdantaudio.com/collections/musical-fidelity/products/musical-fidelity-m6si-integrated-amplifier Although a hair above your budge, you might want to look at the Rogue Pharoah as well. Awesome integrated and if you find one used would be below budget. It is a class D and the tube input stage is there just to tame the brightness a touch. I have the Hydra, which is the 100w power amp. It would also be a good fit, especially if you were to roll in a pair of NOS Cifte tubes. |
@karurravi What happened to your Luxman 509X integrated amp? Why are you getting rid of it? Your Luxman 509X is a very refined integrated amp. Did it break? I would think that your Luxman 509X will be superior sounding to the above integrateds that were suggested or recommended. I don't see a point why you want to get rid of your Luxman 509X and get a cheaper one. Did it not sound good on your Vandy Treo CT speakers? What front end source component(s) do you have? |
