I've audition these speakers with the Rogue 88 amp. It's a 6550 tube based amp. The sound was very good. Sweet but with the punch on the low end. Don't recall how hot these run but the have a built in fan to keep it cool. I suggest you audition this amp before any purchase. Regards,
Amp for Acarian Alon IIs
Hello, I'm still trying to find that "perfect" amp for the Alon IIs. The associated equipment is: Analog: Well Tempered Classic+ Grado Platinum or ATOC9 Digital: PS Audio Lambda + Ultralink Preamp: Classe DR6 / Counterpoint SA3000 (for a tube backup) Speakers: Acarian Alon IIs Cables are Nordost Blue Heaven and Black Orpheus. My choices so far are Classe DR15/DR9 or a Chord SPM600. I've also thought about a Levinson 27 but it seems to run pretty hot (my apartment is small). Thanks for the input
