Regarding the new Jadis amps: I have had the opportunity to audition the JA-100 with KT-90 output tubes in balanced configuration with Vandersteen 5s and Wilson W/P 6s. I found their sound to be ideal to my ear. Best balance of body, tone, depth and speed I've heard. Truly startling dynamics (this amp's ability to give detail from ppp - fff is its most remarkable achievement). No, I don't own them but I'm dreaming.
Amps for Avalon Radian HCs
I currently own the Avalon, Spectral with DMA 150 amp, MIT EVO Shotgun interconnects and cables and am looking for an amp that will be warmer, more dynamic, more layered and with better depth. I am considering the Joule Electra Grand Marquis IV, ARC 200, REF 300, Jadis 800 or any other amps that give me just a little more magic. I've also considered keeping my electronics and buying Eidolons. One person has mentioned the Specraweld 100w OTLs from France but I have never heard of this company. I'd love to hear from folks about what you've heard that has blown you away. Thanks.
