Amp or blocks for Total Eclipse

Take a look at some of the hybrid amps. that'll keep one foot in each camp... tubes & SS.

I find the Dodd MK III 120wpc mono blocks pretty nice amps. They drive my more difficult imp than your's, speaker pretty well.... being ever mindful their bass isn't that of comparable SS amps... but then there's that always, huh?

I think I've heard another owner of TE uses D amps.... Rowland?

Another great source said he liked what he heard from the newest Odyssey monos too.

Good luck.

I drive my Super Eclipse lll's with Nuforce 9 SEV3. It really
lights them up.

The Total Eclipse is easy to drive. We can drive them with our smallest amp, but most of our customers usually use either our M-60 or MA-1 for them. The speaker makes good bass down into the lower 20s and we found it easy to set up. They are designed with tube amplifiers in mind, if you want everything they have to offer get an amp with at least 60 watts/channel.

Agreed - I drive my Total Eclipse with a 100 watt Berning, and I'm quite pleased. While I can get away with 10 watts (convincingly depending on the output tube), it takes around 50wpc and up to really gets them singing. YMMV.

I have total eclipse 11 version and with the 8 watt Coincident Frankenstein MK2 amps drive them effortlessly and with projection of sound into a 14x26 feet room at moderate to loud volumes. These speakers are quite an easy load. SET amplifiers with good transformers and a stout power supply will serve you well.
