Audio Artistry Beethovens

Ulf -

First of all, congrats on your new speakers!

Did you e-mail me with your amplifier question some time back? Around that time I lost my e-mail files, and I don't think I ever replied to you. My apologies.

I'm not an Audio Artistry owner, just a fan - but I was in Siegfried's home several months ago and as I recall he was using several fairly low powered (maybe 50-watt ballpark)solid state amps. I think he was tri-amplifying or maybe even quad-amplifying. He may well have built the amps himself, but they were not at all big & beefy.

Personally, I'd have liked a touch of tube warmth, but that's just me. The dynamics were incredible with the amps he had.

I know this doesn't give you many specifics, but hopefully it's better than nothing.

Best of luck to you!

I was under the impression that Sigfried had severed his ties with AA several years ago.

I have heard the Beethovens with custom double-stacked subs tri-amplified with BEL solid state amps. A truley amazing combo. Happy listening. Erik

Yes Siegfried has severed his ties with AA, but he still owns a pair of Beethovens.
