amps for MBL 121's, help please

@Dob...

Hi, would you mind posting some links to comparisons between the Spectron and JC-1, not being snarky just missed this in my research.

Thanks.

hi guys

thank you so much for your inputs. i am sorry as I cannot reply earlier due to my personal business and quite busy at the moment.

some of you mentioned i am completely not familiar with and i doubt i can easily get them in the UK with the right price, as i am after s/h or ex-demo product only. i cannot support for brand new sparkling kits.

at the moment i am using combo chord 1200C and cpa 3000, source is esoteric x-03se, interconnect cables are 2 pairs of KS1036, and speaker cables are heavens gate audio ultra silence mk2 (i made a big mistake on this one due to my silly english - not mother tongue - then have to spend alot more than i was expected to).

whats i am looking at the moment might be goldmund telos 200, linn klimax 500, perreaux 750, audionote p4, mcintosh mac1000. they are the only available at the moment with affordable prices which i can find in the market here. I have also been offered for MBL 9007 - but single amp - and use it as a stereo, not mono blocks. one audiophile friend suggested me to use Belles amps but I cannot afford as well due to buying new only, no s/h or ex-demo

to be honest, i am quite interested in chord 1400e and leema acoustic altair. but it is hard to find them, and the price is very very high for me (the altair ones). regarding passlabs and other brands, it is also very difficult to find one in the market at the moment.

so in case I cannot find mono blocks which I want to go for, I might sell up my current combo then go for a decent intergrated amp.

all of your contributions are deeply appriciated. please give me more advices and suggestions if you think neccessary.

best regards,

thanh

p.s: I have registed with gon very long ago and just going here to read and check classified. sometime I am very tempted to buy something, but worried too much as I have never anything outside the UK, besides importing tax and delivery. as suggestion or help to make me confident tod deal with oversea business and taxes?

any one heard DartZeeL or Goldmund with MBL's? please give some infos and reviews about those matching.

also any idea about Krell KAS-2 monoblocks?

I'm currently using the Parasound JC1 with my MBL 121. The drive is great! Before with JC1, I was using the Ayre V1x and it was a bad match - lifeless and slow. I need to crank up the volume all the up to squeeze out some activity from the speakers. That explains much. When I changed to the JC1, the speakers seem to be awaken from the slumber with the Ayre.

thanks Shsohis :) for the inputs. at the moment I cannot find any pair of JC1 in the UK. I am thinking going for a decent integrated amp like ASR Emiter2 or Dartzeel as well. any advices?
