Hey @dhite71
Apologies for the late reply! It’s been 4 years since I posted this... so there’s been A LOT of experimenting. I still indeed have the speakers, and they are not going anywhere. They’re special, so hold on to them :)
Btw, you’d probably really like the Sopra No. 2, but google that ridiculous price tag. I know you got probably got your Quattros at a steal.
My favorite amps have been from Plinius. The SA-103 is a dark amp and it worked well for my
tastes. The tweeter is very prominent with Platinum speakers, so you need an amp that is dark and drives these hungry bastards. Mono SA-103 would be the ultimate, but I never quite got there when I owned one; the bass is phenomenal. Surprisingly for my Trios (and granted the room is not that large), I’ve been rocking the new Yamaha AS1200... and it sounds wicked great! I’d imagine the higher end Yamaha units are even better.
I’ve also tried Primaluna, Bryston, Luxman, Parasound. The Luxman Amps and Primaluna mono blocks were better out if the bunch.
