Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos

I had the 12s for years, liked them a lot, was only seduced away by some SET monoblocks (845 output tubes). The SETSs supposedly produce only 12 wpc but sound more authoritative (in an 18 x 40' room) than the CJs did. Good luck, Dave

The Atma-Sphere M-60 MkIII would be an outstanding match with your Coincident Victories, as Jtimothya suggests. Authority in the bass with excellent resolution and quickness, plus a midrange timbral accuracy that few other tube amps match. Don't let the 60w rating fool you - with a 14ohm load, this OTL will exercise more control and deliver more power into the Coincidents than other nominally higher powered amps, and you can't beat the Atma-Sphere's transparency, resolution and harmonic truthfulness.

re: Atma-sphere- concerned about heat and hot tubes exposed (have 2-yr old running around in that same room). Dopogue- in fact, have tried 845's before in the system, and liked them very much. A local guy has a set of J.C Verdier 845 monoblocks that I hear are very good...
Cyto- Music Reference?? Don't really know them, but will look into it- thanks again everyone for the great responses!

You might want to audition the PrimaLuna KT-88 monos.I would definitely upgrade the input and driver tubes,along with an after-market PC.Check their audition policy,don't know if there is a re-stock charge.For $2700,the other upgrades might leave some leftover cash for music.
