Hello all---i am thinking of purchasing these speakers for my next system. Looking to couple a tube integrated with it in <4k range thereby making it a nice, simple system. Any recommendations? I am considering Cary, Vac, etc.
Speaking of EAR, there are EAR 859 integrateds for sale on Audiogon. I have used this amp with my Def 2s. If you like the EAR/Zu combination, this is more than sufficient power.
Have not listened to Manley Stingray. But it will look really cool with the Zu Pre. Specifications are excellent and there approach to explaining tubes is also big plus.
I did notice the options were not available for balanced inputs: Balanced inputs are not available. It's a single-ended input topology and so to balance it we would have to add chips or transformers. There is no power supply for IC's available inside and no room to fit more transformers or XLR's so please take the RCA's with a kind heart!
You got love it when OEM gives you this info:
