With your headphones and speakers you might well do fine with an LTA MZ2 or MZ3. I’d do the MZ3 if I was you.
Integrated amp w/decent headphone out under $5k
Could use some help picking an integrated amp. Current Eastern Electric M520 24W EL34 doing a nice job driving my 95db efficient Omega CAMs. Would like to get to next level of tone and refinement and also drive my Hifiman HE1000 Stealth headphones (supposed to be easy to drive). Tried a SET separate but missed the bass definition and dynamics so I think I want to stay push/pull or warmer sounding solid state or hybrid. 10-25 watts should be plenty. Current leading candidate is LTA Z10… anything else I should look at?

@soix Thanks for the input. The MZ2 was under consideration but concerned if 1w is sufficient, although I’m in a small room ad typically listen at 85db or less. I will check with Omega as they are the ones who made me aware of LTA. Regarding the MZ3, price is close enough that I figured I would just go right to the Z10 to give some flexibility in case my speakers change as they sometimes do… @jperry Will take a look at Luxman. Wasn’t familiar with this model but recently heard about their SQ-N150 which at 10w could also work. Have to say their website is terrible - very hard to figure out their lineup and of course no mention of prices! Appears they do have a dealer near me though. |
