Eggleston spkr owners - which SS or hybrid amp ...
... do you own? Please specify your speaker model as well. (My Fontaines are being driven by powerful SET. Reason for this poll: curious if I can get nearly same sound with SS or hybrid.)
I used to have Eggleston Rosa. Pass Labs amps. First Aleph 5, then Aleph 2 ending with XA100.5. The Rosa needs lots of good clean power. Pass amps are an excellent match.
Hello Danny own a pair of EGGLESTONWORK ANDRA 3 that seem relatively an easy load, 24 inches apart from the back wall. They are driven by Hybrid amps: a pair of LAMM M 2.2 and the reference pre amp also by LAMM. I got plenty of power in a room of 23 X23. Very smooth sounding speakers but also very dynamic with a perspective of being in a live event (full scale). Note the LAMM is rated very conservatively at 220 WPC. Hope this help.
When I owned the Andra IIs, then the Andra Is, a BAT VK-500 with the BAT PAK and two DCCA Extreme Ref power cables really made great music together. Ultimately though, I prefered tubed amps...
I know that Mark O'brien from Rogue Audio uses Eggleston in his show set ups. You might want to look into their new hybrid which does have tubes. Ive read good things.
