Amp Recommendations for AZ Crescendo

Hi Ejay,
Congratulations , you own an excellent pair of speakers and I just heard them again at CES a few days ago. The 2A3 is probably a bit too low powered for anything above modest listening levels ( The tonality may be wonderful however). The ARC REF 75 may work well, based on my familiarity I'd strongly and passionately urge you to try a good quality 845 SET amplifier. Your Crescendos with expose the innate character of the amplifier used.

Ejaynycrrcom,

Congrats on your new Crescendos; they are phenomenal and I love mine...

Ejaynycrrcom I was at soundsofsilence this weekend and he showed me what a big change it was to change out the jumpers that come with the speakers to some Purist Audio jumpers. (this of course if you do not use bi-wire cables). Top end opens up, more transparent.

Sunday the 19th Sounds Of Silence is having another listening session with the Crescendos, anyone is welcome to come for a listen especially those in the NY/NJ area. Good times to be heard!!!!

I am using SS McIntosh MC601 mono's with my Crescendo's. I think they sound great. When I listened to the Crescendo's at Acoustic Zen in San Diego, Robert Lee had them hooked up with a pair of SS Red Dragon monos. He had them set up in a very large demo room at his facility. I know he often uses tube amps for shows. One of these days I may try a tube amp just to check it out but it will most likely be a McIntosh MC275 to match with all my other McIntosh gear.

I am using AZ Absolute Copper interconnects and AZ Hologram II speaker cables and find the synergy sounds great.
