Amp for Vintage Heresy


Hey All,

I just picked up a pair of Heresy 1s for my home office / creative studio. 

Currently I’m running a WiiM Pro plus to a NAD 316bee. 
It sounds fine but it could be better. needs more Pratt!

 

I listen to classic rock, acoustic and good country and stream on Qobuz,

 

Considering either going vintage (maybe a restored dynamo st-70 , a SET 300b (maybe chinahifi), or something else…

 

like schiit Freya+ and Aegir , push pull el34 or kt88 integrated, or recommend something!

I’m not happy with the WiiM so considering getting a Allo Katana Player  

 

My reference system which I like is Nola Boxer s3, Tsakiridis Aeolos Plus, Schiit Bifrost2, Allo DigiOne Signature, Project Debut Carbon Evo, Projrect Phono

 

 

thanks guys!

Overall I agree with @mrdecibel but really did enjoy a Tube Amp and Tube Pre with my Heresy 1's .  I even ran a Tube DAC with them to take some of the brightness out as they were usually  in smaller room.  My son now has them and uses an old but fully restored solid state Luxman 100U and I was pleasantly surprised how well they sounded.

 

The crossovers were updated by Crites . I sent them in and they were reasonable to ship and have them do the work correctly. I sent the crossovers in only, not the speakers.
