You've got a couple excellent choices. I've owned both and currently have the 140. You might check the SoundStage! review of the Premier 140 which compares the two. Conrad-Johnson Premier 140 Stereo Amplifier |
The cj prem140 will have a tighter bass where the 12's will be a little looser and sound slightly bigger. The mids and treble wil be quieter and more transparent with the 140 and the 12's will be IMO a little more musical and have a bit of that classic tube wamrth. I don't beleive the modwright tube amp is very "tuby" sounding so the addition of the 140 may become too neutral depening on your tastes. personally I would buy the 12's but I like a warmer kinder to recording sound. |
