So I have to redo my list now and make sure I get at least 20-30W in my amps. The options are now limitless with PP tube amps.@essrand I'd go for a bit more power if I were you. The trick with any amplifier is you don't want to work it hard- its lower distortion and power tubes last longer. BTW as you may have surmised our M-60 works quite well on that speaker.
New List (as of now): Nagra 300p, Kondo Overture (used only, can't afford new), Shindo Haut-Brion (if I can find one).
Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96
I am looking to upgrade (and simultaneously downsize) from Coincident Frankenstein Mk2 300b SET monoblock amps to one of these stereo amplifiers.
These are the four candidates so far: Nagra 300p, Luxman MQ-300, Wavac EC-300B, Air Tight ATM-300R, Shindo Cortese 300b
My preamp/dac is Bricasti M12 and my speakers are Devore O/96.
I am not looking nor interested in any other 300b amps at this point.
If anyone has compared one or more of these amps (esp on an Orangutan) do chime in.
Where I live I can probably demo the Nagra and the Air Tight but nothing else.
Thoughts?
