McIntosh! My dealer runs the Aida’s on McIntosh Monoblocks, through McIntosh components. My lord does that system sound amazing! Love those speakers. System used to have Lilliums, but some how they ended up in my house. But they sounded great in that system too. McIntosh & Sonus Faber is a match made in audio heaven.
tough choices
Hi all
______
I had a lot of fun on here a few years back. I have a dilemma that I hope I can score some help with:
My current system is:
-sonus faber aida
- AR: anniversary edition preamp
-AR .CD 9
AR: 750 mono's and 250 Mono : one pair of each.
four REL subwoofers
I 'm fed up with these monoblocks, They broke down a few timesIve owned them for three years now. The dealer explained to me that this is due to the care they require, I E: the voltage and bias need continual attention, which I m not prepared to give them. The dealer is offering 80% value on trading them in .
I got them for two reasons, One the Preamp is fantastic , and the sonus faber is suited to them. As sonus bought AR recently , that is the logic the dealer offered me.
Now , the dealer is offering me a trade in to switch to solid state power amps. However they suggest I buy two Boulders per side, the idea is sound , however I just don't wish to shell out a quarter Million (i Live in Canada) . for the power amps. The speakers were about a 100K.
Also, they now tell me that Sonus says that the speakers need to be tri-amped . Which would up the amp.cost significantly.
The advice Im seeking here is how I could tri amp the Sonus Fabers and do it on a budget of about 100K ?
My dealer has no suggestions yet at least , except to bi-amp with T&A amps for 100K . The thing is I'd liek to try tri-amping instead .
thank you for reading , looking forwards to your answers
