I have a question. I'm currently running Dali Helicon 400 speakers with a hand made JWN tube amplifier rated somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 watts per channel--8 el34 output tubes. I'm curious how the Lore's would sound with this particular amp, or would I need one of JIM's lower-powered creations to really get the most out of the Lore's. I guess I should say that Jim's amps have a well-deserved rep for creating a well-defined, almost 3D soundstage presentation.

Sabocat - I have a 2A3 SET and also recently a Manley Stingray. The Stingray uses 8 EL84 tubes for outputs. The Lores sound great on the SET but even better with the Stingray. I'm in a 12'x13' room, so the SET can play loud enough. The PPP adds a lot more weight and thump. I doubt you'll feel you have a mismatch with your EL34 amp. |
Thanks for the feedback. I may give those Lore's a try. BTW, here's a pic of my amp: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1443421242667.2062517.1147196690&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=1768468568647&set=a.1443421242667.2062517.1147196690&type=3&theater |
