amps for MBL 121's, help please

Also I have been suggested using ASR Emiter 2 integrated amp to drive my 121's as many MBL users match this amp with their speakers. If you know about this amp and how they work with MBL's please provide me some information. But this amp is very fatiguing with other 3 boxes of battery and psu, lots of boxes.

Regarding the watts and ohm, do you think which amp is suitable to drive difficult speakers like MBL's? the founder of CAT said his JL-1 100wpc can let the spks sound like a 1000wpc amp - check from audiogon. Another guy told me he is using Unison 845 amp to drive the speakers and sound is amazing. Many uses class A amps from around 35-100wpc drive MBL's and they said great as well.

There are also many many more debates and discussions about matching low sensitivity speakers with amps and there is no final agreement about a best solution. As I cannot go anywhere with my speakers thus asking for advices from audiogon-ers is a best option at the moment for me. I hope you could help me to find a good one then stop swapping boxes . I am in no rush to buy new amps until I move into the new house this July, therefore all of your advices and contributions are highly appreciated.

many thanks

Thanks Nsirkin

I'm in the UK and the price would be in pounds :(. there was a pair of Parasound JC1 but sold very quickly last month. When I did not have money, there were so many choices, and now I save up a bit then...

any other suggestion?

Thanks

hi guys

thank you so much for your inputs. i am sorry as I cannot reply earlier due to my personal business and quite busy at the moment.

some of you mentioned i am completely not familiar with and i doubt i can easily get them in the UK with the right price, as i am after s/h or ex-demo product only. i cannot support for brand new sparkling kits.

at the moment i am using combo chord 1200C and cpa 3000, source is esoteric x-03se, interconnect cables are 2 pairs of KS1036, and speaker cables are heavens gate audio ultra silence mk2 (i made a big mistake on this one due to my silly english - not mother tongue - then have to spend alot more than i was expected to).

whats i am looking at the moment might be goldmund telos 200, linn klimax 500, perreaux 750, audionote p4, mcintosh mac1000. they are the only available at the moment with affordable prices which i can find in the market here. I have also been offered for MBL 9007 - but single amp - and use it as a stereo, not mono blocks. one audiophile friend suggested me to use Belles amps but I cannot afford as well due to buying new only, no s/h or ex-demo

to be honest, i am quite interested in chord 1400e and leema acoustic altair. but it is hard to find them, and the price is very very high for me (the altair ones). regarding passlabs and other brands, it is also very difficult to find one in the market at the moment.

so in case I cannot find mono blocks which I want to go for, I might sell up my current combo then go for a decent intergrated amp.

all of your contributions are deeply appriciated. please give me more advices and suggestions if you think neccessary.

best regards,

thanh

p.s: I have registed with gon very long ago and just going here to read and check classified. sometime I am very tempted to buy something, but worried too much as I have never anything outside the UK, besides importing tax and delivery. as suggestion or help to make me confident tod deal with oversea business and taxes?

any one heard DartZeeL or Goldmund with MBL's? please give some infos and reviews about those matching.

also any idea about Krell KAS-2 monoblocks?

thanks Shsohis :) for the inputs. at the moment I cannot find any pair of JC1 in the UK. I am thinking going for a decent integrated amp like ASR Emiter2 or Dartzeel as well. any advices?
