It's sort of backwards to select the speakers after the amps. I bought the CAM-350s specifically to drive a pair of Egglestonworks Andras ($14,900 new), which need the kind of power the 350s can provide to perform their best. The Andras were Stereophile's speaker of the year in 1997, they're beautiful, comparatively small, and can go within a foot of the rear wall. There are usually one or two pairs on Audiogon for $6500-$8000 used. If you really want to hear something special, put four Aurios Pros under each of the Andras spiked feet ($200 each, $1600 total from Audionut.com).
speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks
I have recently acquired a pair of the new Classe Audio CAM350 Mono Blocks which are recommended under Class A component in the Stereophile magazine.
Presently my system is as follows:
Source- EAD T-7000 transport to Sonic Frontier Ultrajitterbug via Marigo Apparition 3A digital cable/to Genesis Digital Lens via Cardas Lightning digital cable/to Theta DS Pro Gen lll via Taralab Decade digital cable
Preamp- Classe CP-50 driven by Straigtwire Crescendo IC's from DAC
Power Amp- Classe CAM350 (350 Watts/ch)mono block driven by Cardas Golden Cross IC's from preamp
Speakers- Paragon Jubilee and Jems driven by Vampire Continous Casting Silver speaker cables from power amp
The system sounds fast, transparent and musical.
Can anybody suggest a better speaker match for me to upgrade from the $9000 Paragon speaker system ?
Thanks.
