USHER BE-20 + Spectron Musician III MK2

Lamm M1.2 were nice, Audio Research 210 better, ASR Emitter Exclusive 2 even better ;-)

We have mixed and matched a number of different pre,s and power amps with our demo BE-20'S. One suggestion would be using single or 2 bridged Usher R-1.5,s power amps, along with the new Audio Space Ref 2S pre amp This combo provided wonderful mids along with great bass control...

Natty,
I am currently using a BAT 51SE preamp and a VAC Phi 110 stereo amp on my Be-20's and love it. Great sound, huge sound stage and all the other audiophile words apply, great combo IMHO.

Regards,
John

Hi Natty,

My speakers are Watt/Puppy 8 - still I own Spectron monoblocks and for a few months, I am in waiting list for Joule-Electra "300" preamp. I been told today that in a few days it will be shipped and I will post my impressions.

BAT VK52SE or better REX (not 51 with solid state power supplies) are also good preamps but at $250 per tube with need for re-tubing every year or two (6-10 tubes?) - can't be even compared with "300" where you need to re-tube every 10 years or so and cost of full retubing with NOS tubes is....$210. Nothing can beat it. Sorry.

Mike
