Amp for Shahinian Diapasons


Recently upgraded to the Diapason with Double Eagle woofers. Anyone able to suggest a nice amp to match?

After something reasonably priced..my listening levels are not into the stratosphere :)

I was thinking Eastern Electic minimax pre and Belles power, Blue Circle Integrated, EE Minimax pre and Bedini power, AVI Lab integrated...

Any advice greatly appreciated...

Cheers

I should have warned you about that! (Or asked you!) Depending on how the terminals are hooked up / used, you will get different crossover configurations. In fact I've had mine in one place for so long that I can't remember what the particulars are for the other possibilities. AAMOF, depending on how this particular pair were ordered it would be possible to bypass the crossover entirely if one chose to do so.

BTW, I had mentioned the AVA Ultra 550, not the Ultravalve. The 550 has a bit more umph behind it (!), just what the Diapasons need. Good luck with your new sound! Report in when you've had a chance to hear what it does.
I honestly don't remember what I got or where it might be now. I suspect it's packed away in the basement somewhere. Best bet is to call Shahinian Acoustics mid-afternoon (Eastern time) and ask for Vasken. I'm sure he can walk you through it.

Or email him at shahinianacoustics@yahoo.com and get the directions in writing. Easier to remember that way.
