Add the Almarro to the list. A friend owns a highend shop and is working on bringing them in after a customer loaned her the 4.5 wpc integrated. She had heart palpations.
Tube Power Amp Recommendations around $2000
I recently ordered a pair of the new Zu Souls and am looking for recommendations for a tube power amplifier around $2000. I'm not wed to either new or used. In my digging on the 'gon in the past week, I have found and am curious about:
-Tube Audio Labs (probably the 300B)
-Jeff Korneff 45 based power amp
-Dynaco ST 70 (there is a local guy that restores them)
-Miniwatt N3 (I'd be curious to know if folks think this one stacks up against the others)
-Synthesis (mostly because there is a local dealer)
-Audion (hard to get a response from their distributor in the US)
-DIY Tube Audio
Any thoughts on these or any other suggestions?

Audio Mirror has powerful triode SET monos with awesome midrange, tight deep bass, and sweet highs. And replacement tubes are not expensive. The 20 watt version should be plenty for your speakers. Email Vlad to discuss your needs and budget. Do not be discouraged by the MSRP - he often sells them new here for much less. http://www.audiomirror.com/amps.html |
