Amp for Acarian Alon IIs

The best I've heard with any Alon speakers have been VTL and ARC amps, in part probably because the Alon's designer prefers tubes. They have also sounded great with (yes) Krell products, and sound good, though not as refined as the above amps, with the Acurus DIA for friends of mine just getting their feet wet in the high end. Given your preamp, however, you might want to borrow a Classe amp to see how it sounds with them, as I normally would not recommend tubed amps with a solid state preamp. Good luck!

I'm using my alon's II with a Krell kav300i. I couldn't believe it when I first tried, but the sound if realy nice. This if not as good as with big VTL amps, but wery pleasant anyway and certainly not cold. Of course, the low frequencies are really exceptional. Now, I'm lookink for the best cable partnership.

I have the A3 Musical Fidelity iontegrated,with the Alon II's.Very pleased and will produce excellent harmonics. Alan

I am using a BK ST1400 Amp and a conrad johnson PV10A to drive my Alon 1's. It sounds great!!!!

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,

I know you might dismiss this, but biamp the top with a Adcom GFA-535 (original NOT II) and the bottom with a Onkyo M504. Ive tried MANY amps, some costing more than my Alons. This combo puts you there. I dont know if its the impedence or what, but I have have about 4 grand worth of amps to sell now. I just couldnt beat the synergy. I wish you could hear it.
