Amp for Martin Logan

I decided to try the VTL ST 150. I purchased one here on audiogon. It should arrive early next week. I am hoping it will sound great. Thanks for all the suggestions.

After talking to and emailing quite a few people, I am considering a NuForce 9.02 or Bel Canto Evo IV mk ii. Has anyone heard both of these amps? Any comments?

Would the VTL have enough power for the MLs? They dip to a little over an ohm in the highs.

Oh Well, I'm back in the hunt. VTL arrived today UPS'ized. Box was obviously droped more than once. 5 tubes are shattered. He should have packed the tubes seperatly. The inside of the amp is filled with glass shards so I'm sending it back. I am looking once again.

Well I think I might try the Nuforce amps. Anywhere I can get a deal on one? I also have heard that the new Rowland 102 amp is out. Has anyone had a chance to listen to one yet?

Bought a set of Nuforce 9.02s. I hope they make it through shipping. I think they may sound good in my system with the CAT preamp.

I tried the Nuforce but I didn't like the speaker terminals. I biwire with two sets of cables and there is no way to tighten two sets to the amps. I do not like the plastic threads on the posts. I was afraid to tighten them, I thought they might strip. The amps sounded OK, great detail on the top and bottom, but I thought they were lacking some body in the mids. I sold the Nuforce and bought a set of Rowland 201s. The 201s sound excellent. I think I have found the right match for my system.

Dennis,
I am considering a move to the Vantage from the Ascent i. I still hear the hole in the upper bass with the Ascents. My friend has the Summits and they definatly do not lack in the upper bass. I know the Vantage does not have the low bass like the Summit, but does the upper bass blend better than the older MLs?
