I am running a Music Reference RM-200II, which is over your price, to very good results. Roger Modjeski was running a special for his RM-10 tube amp for $1,450.00, regular $1,950.00 That included shipping. He says that is his favorite amplifier. It is 35 watts per channel. I do not know if he is still running that special, but you may want to contact him and find out.
Amp for Gallo Ref 3.1 and Modwright swl 9.0se?
Speakers: Anthony Gallo Reference 3.1
Preamp: Modwright swl 9.0se
Budget for amp: Under $1500
Source: CD & Ipod (DAC coming soon)
Music: jazz, 60's psychedelic, drone, metal, hip-hop, ambient and electronic played quiet and loud
I'm very curious about class D, but ultimately want the best pairing. I understand the gallo 3.1's need heavy current.
Thanks.
