Being a tube person who is trying to put together an active loudspeaker setup , I have come across the problem of choosing the best driver for the midrange and upper bass i.e.80Hz to 2.5 KHz. I would like to try a panel such as a Magnapan but am told that they are rather power hungry. Therefore, I would be grateful if fellow Audiogoners could share your experience in relation to the best powerful SS amps that would not be out of place in a "tube-ophile's" system. Thanks
I was looking at the 3.6(or maybe the 1.6) depending on which one is a better bang for the buck in the frequency range that I want it to function in. I have not stated a budget purely because I want to know what the best SS amp out there is ( once again for midrange and upper bass) and then go about trying to Audition it. Thanks
Many former toob-o-philes have landed with the Spectron Musician II SE MK2. Another frequent mention for tube-like warmth is the Plinius line, like the SA-102.
I am using a Wyred 4 Sound MC 250/500 to drive my Magnepan 3.5Rs. Great sound on tap, but you need to give iyt quality cables. I settled in with:
Tek Line Cables Micro Reference Xtreme power cords Clear Day solid core silver- double shotgun XLR interconnects- DH Labs revelation or PS Audio Transcendent silver
