My friend uses Lamms with his Sasha, I have had my Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 on them and sounded good. The big MF integrateds are a real bargain. My CJ 350 would work well. Krell and GamuT would be a couple more. If you want maximum volume and bass extension the large SS with stability into low impedance loads is the way to go. If you are willing to give up a little bass and volume tubes will work and give a different presentation of the midrange which many prefer. The bass and maximum loudness will still be good, just not quite as much. AR, CJ and Quicksilver are among the ones I would check out.
Amp suggestions for sofia's
Hih all,
Need some suggestion for wilson sofias. Currently i am using a Bryston B100 integratd with internal dac and mm phono. Although i am real found of detail the speakers seem to be a little bright. Since the bryston can be used as a pre only. I was going to try a different amp to go with it. Tube or ss doesn't matter although i don't know much about tubes. I have read that tubes don't push the sofia's very well. They seem to be a little power hungry. I'm am trying to soften the speakers just a little.
My budget is under 10k. much under if possible. I would rather have a stereo unit instead of mono's just because of space to put them, but i an not counting them out. depending on the size. I will be looking at used just to try something different for now. I have been looking at Lamm and Conrad Johnson. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
Matt
