Cdma,
How much XA power do you think you need with the Maggie 3.6R's?

A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage
For the heading, I need to start a new thread; this is because the last thread does not do the Audio Note the justice.
The comparison among all those EAR, Pass labs, YBA and the little, David, Audio Note kit one, does illustrate that if we can relate our live musical experience, the SET certainly rules.
For whatever reasons, I like to have advice on higher powered SET amplifiers for the Maggies
Please advice
Robert

The reason why I mentioned XA is because Robert wants the sound of SET, XA is much better candidate than X-150. About the power, I'm not sure since my Dunlavy is more sensitive and XA-160 can do very good job. OTOH, XA sould be not be worse than the rest of SETs he mentioned. BTW, XA .5 version probably are better for difficult load. |
Not sure on your price range,but as suggested in another thread. You may want to take a look at the KR Audio amplifiers. If some these amplifiers can drive Acoustats. They'll have no problems driving your maggies. Here's a review of them doing that very thing Kronzilla. |
Robert, since you like the kit 1, you may want to look at the Audionote Kit 2. Although only rated at 12wpc, it is significantly more capable than any 300B I have heard, and IMHO somically better in some respects. It seems to have the edge in dynamics and bass and treble response. It is not a SET, as it is wired in pentode (or tetrode), but it is single ended. Regards Paul |
