A friend is running a Musical Fidelity M6si Integrated to great effect with the B&W’s. Her system sounds very nice. Don’t touch the tweeters...
Best amp for B&W805D3?
I am settling in with these relatively new speakers and find my amp (Primaluna Dialogue HP with tubes ranging from EL-34’s to KT150s) is not matching up very well. The tubes just sound a bit muddled and sluggish with some harshness or brightness in the upper-mid range.
I normally prefer the warmer sound of the tubes especially with Klipsch Heresy speakers. The EL-34s are very disappointing with the B&W’s. With the B&W’s, the KT-150’s are somewhat better resolving than the other tubes (at least on the Primaluna amp). I am wondering if it is the additional power that is helping? I am also wondering if I need to switch to SS?
I am curious what amps are you finding works best worth the 805 D3s? I am open to changing out the amp but not sure where to start. I would appreciate hearing anyone’s experience with this matter...
