Just bought a pair of used Avalon Radian HC speakers and wondered if anyone can tell me which reasonably priced amp would best suit the old classics. I currently have a Tube Research ST-100 but I just wonder if they would be bettered served with something else?? Anyone out there have experience with this speaker. Any input would be appreciated.
I tried all sorts of audio research with my ascent ii. CL120, VT150, CL150, VT200, VT130 with and without mods. While they can drive full range with no clipping they sounded pretty unmusical. Not even close to acceptable compared against TRL s100 mono.
I'm mixed on weather or not I have the patients to build another system. I may be underpowered because at low volume they are very good indeed. I owned the Ascent Mk 2 in the past and loved them and wish many times that I would have kept them, but I had a different setup then. I know the Radians can sound awesome they blew me away at CES one year. They are very revealing of any system problems. My room is 18x20 with a huge 20 foot vaulted ceiling and opens up to the rest of the house behind me. So therefore I'm trying to fill a very large area. Do you think the MIT wire is necessary part of this equation. I still havent given up I may get them right before they sell.
