That is a very good speaker. I had the 8. One of the only speakers that I did not mind having a metal tweeter. I used a Creek 5350se and the combination was great. I have had a lot of int. amps and that one is my favorite. It is a great component to grow with because the amp and pre section is are connected by jumpers on the back. This lets you use the the 2 sections by themselves. Also, the pre is passive witch elevates the the sound quality a great deal. In my opinion it takes about 2500-3000$ to get a good active preamp. I also had the Nait 5i. The creek makes the 5i sound defective. As far as tubes go, I would not use them with these speakers. The speaker has great pacing and I think a solid state amp will bring that out better than tubes.
Amp recommendation for RS6
Hello everybody,
I am searching currently for a new amplifier for my Monitor Audio RS6.
I have narrowed my options to the next amplifiers:
-Primare I21
-Creek EVO
-NAD C355
-Roksan Kandy mkIII
-Unison Unico
-Naim Nait 5i
but I also consider a tube amp (based on numerous suggestions that RS6 sounds best with tubes).
What do you think?
Any other options are welcome.
