SS amps for merlin vsm

i found the right amp ,,,solid state / tube = AUDIOLAB 8000 C pre + 8000 P power UNBELIVABLE .. very cheap thats the disadvantage...... BEST MATCH solid state for merlin vsm mme irrespective of price range

"very cheap thats the disadvantage"

how is that a disadvantage?

.

simple solid state amp that will go close to EL 34 mid and KT 88 bass

and thats AUDIOLAB 8000 C/P (pre=class A/powclass AB)

the best solid state i have heard with merlin vsm irrespective of any price range

the compination shines and it outperformes merlin & ARS sonum

i BROUGHT one today after having it with me for 3 days and doing lot of comparison

paid only $600 for pre/pow ...was ready to pay $ 6000 for a nice solid state amp

so the only problem here was too cheap :)

.

audiolab is now owned by Spendor

amps that match with merlins usually matches with Merlins

may be thats the majik

I was looking into replacing Focal 918 with Merlin vsm-super BAM.
I am using a rebuilt H/K Citation 16a. (150wpc)
Any thoughts on how they may match up?
