Avantgarde Duo 2.2 Amplifier Match.

Hi all,
I'm currently running my duos with an Arc VT100mk11. It sounds very nice after a bit af wailing and Gnashing of teeth at the start(I had tube problems at first). Anyway, I'd like to try the Lunatic Fringe that is SET's. Has anyone tried the Yamamoto A-08s with the Duos. I'd be very interested if anyone has. It seems to be very good value for money at around 2,200 usd. I'm probably just going to order one without hearing it. So if anyone thinks that this would be a major mistake then please let me know.

Thanks for your time and advice.

Art Audio PX25 or Audiopax would be good too........ My PX25 is sounding very tasty about now.

I 2nd Cmo's recommendation on Audiopax. Suggest you check out the Wavac line too. VERY musical.

The classic choices, as others have noted, are the Audiopax 88s and the Art Audio PX-25; their gain structures are particularly well-suited to the Avantgardes. But do yourself a favor and listen to Lamm ML2s or the newer ML2.1s...noise can be an issue, but MAN do they make music!

I have heard the Duos with an all cary setup and Cary CAD-211 amps. I can tell you that was a very good match.
