Why not go with a beefy integrated such as a Hegel H390? I know it’s not tubes but will blow you away. Otherwise, in your price realm, fo separates, a Parasound A21+ and a tube line stage of your choice gets the job done in your $$$ realm.
Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed
I just picked up what will hopefully be my end-game speakers. They are TLS-1's based on the old Ohm F design, produced by Dale Harder of HHR Exotic speakers. I will probably share more in a separate speaker thread later.
It's become readily apparent that my Rogue Cronus Magnum III integrated is not cutting it with these speakers.
I am looking for suggestions on a tube-pre and solid state amp separates that will drive the TLS-1's to nirvana.
Here are my must haves:
- I want tone controls (treble/ bass)
- Again tube pre
- SS amp
- At least 150 wpc
- Want to keep my spend under $5k (new or used)
Yes, I already have Dale's recommendation, but I'm looking for other points of view here.
Thanks,
Joe
