I have the Cronus Magnum II driving Ohm Walsh 5000s. I don’t have much of anything to compare, but to me the sound is wonderful. It fills the room. When I think of listening when I’m away from the stereo, the memory is physical, if that makes sense. I’ve become a big fan of funk! It will certainly drive big woofers. I’m not sure if it’s the speakers or amp or both, but most impressive is the detail and punch of bass and percussion, and dynamics in general. I bought it used from a dealer. He said to expect some noise, but mine is silent using an older PS Audio regenerator in a mostly ungrounded old house. I have only upgraded the preamp tube a bit to a gold lion.
Polk L100s - tube integrated recommendation
I have the L100s and very much enjoy them with SS. After 30years of SS I want to try tubes and of my 4 speakers sets I want to try the L100s with tubes.
Ken (Stereophile reviewer) wrote about how well the Cary SLI80HS works with the L100s, however, since this will be my entry into tubes I want to try something a little more affordable (<$3000 new). Can anyone suggest FROM EXPERIENCE a tube integrated that work well? Thanks.
