Can a pair of BAT Rex II (Tube) mono block amplifiers make the Martin Logan Neoliths sing?

Thanks Irwin!  The Summits have a 200w powered built in amp, so it won't be comparable. The Neoliths have no built in amp.  Your first speaker probably didn't have amp, so it would be a better comparison.

Tablejockey, When you heard the Neoliths through couple of near equal power tube amps, how loud was the volume? How large was the room?  I listen at volumes where my daughter has to put on head phones two rooms over and my wife will tell me to turn them down if she's home. I'm guessing my soft is 60-80 decibels and my concert level is 100+ decipels. I also have a 20' x 30' room that is open to the kitchen, then hallway then the rest of the house with no doors.

milt808-

my experiences hearing the Neolith were in a showroom and private home both not far off in dimensions.

Can't give more details other than both were able to demonstrate just how LOUD  and competent  they can play-simply impractical and UNHEALTHY to preserving ones hearing long term. Impressive, but I prefer that level of loud from the real thing-with earplugs.

All I can tell you is they are in the "higher fi" category as far as  performance goes.-same for the BAT gear-congrats on being fortunate to consider the combination.

We are krell dealers theonos are stunning you can warm them up with a good tube preamp and a good front end

Please contact us we can give you some guidance

Dear  @milt808  : " a warmer sound with more harmonics. "

First the harmonics are developed by the recording source we are listening it and those harmonics have changes through all the signal path where that signal must travels in our room/system till goes in our ears/brain/body. A good room treatment and fine tunning the subwoofers SPLs can help for that warmer sound  you are looking for that again depends on the signal source. The issue is not about tube amplifier because your speakers impedance at a critical 20khz frequency is down to 0.43 ohms and I don't know yet a tube amp that can handled with applomb that speaker impedance.

In my opinion this is the amp for your system and I think you can't go wrong with:

Thanks everyone for all your feedback!

I went for it and they are in shipping. I was told I can horizontal passive bi-amp with the BAT tubes running the panel and the Krell solid state running the 2 woofers.  If the volumes don't match, then I'll need to find a output controller between the pre-amp and the amps.

I'll let you know the outcome...
