They sounded very good at my local dealer driven by McIntosh
SEEKING AN AMPLIFIER THAT MATES WELL WITH MARTIN LOGAN 11 A IMPRESSIONS
Room is 18' long by 11 foot wide with 8 foot ceilings and light drapes on order for rear wall. I sit about 10 feet from the speakers.
Current Equipment: 1. Martin Logan 11A 4 feet from rear wall and 16 inches from side wall. Set up by dealer using Anthem to maximize the internal woofers.
2. Cary Audio 306/200 as a transport with Chord Qutest DAC
3. Conrad Johnson tube power amp classic 62 65 watts per channel
which replaced Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum II 100 watts/channel-CJ sounds better.
4. Rogue Audio Preamp RP-1
Not happy with the sound, speakers sound anemic to me. I was thinking that a more powerful amp would bring the speakers to life. I realize that the woofers have a built in 375 watt amp. In short, what amp would work better than my current set up? I'm assuming a better match of amplifier would improve the overall sound.
Thank you.

@carlsbad2 thanks for the info and the offer! I’m jersey. But if I’ll be in your neck of the woods I’ll hit you up! |
My main system speakers are Impressions. I use a Classe CA-D200 (class D, 200wpc/8Ω amp paired with an ARC LS7 (tube) preamp and I've never had the urge to change either. The CA-D200 provides excellent bass control, silky midrange, and effortless high frequencies. I do highly recommend taking your time with speaker placement, use songs that you love and know by heart - it's time consuming but should be fun! For reference, my room is 13.5 wide by 25 feet deep with an 8 foot ceiling. My speaker placement is (center of front of speaker) 5 feet from the front wall and a 3.5 feet from the side walls. I sit about 8 feet from the rear wall of the room. |
