Anyone familar with Electrocompaniet Amps/Pre Amps

Congratulations on your Electrocompaniet purchase. They make outstanding products. In my limited experience, this is the closest to tube sound I've heard from solid state. I used to own their ECI-3 integrated. I also owned Simaudio's Moon I-5 at the same time and had fun doing my own little integrated shootout with them. I compared the two amps using ProAc Tablette 50 Signature mini monitors. Not nearly as demanding as your speakers, but it was fun.

The Electrocompaniet gear is well built, and even though they come all the way from Norway I found their tech support to be quick and friendly. Very, very nice stuff. You'll come across some ardent Electrocompaniet fans here on the 'Gon.

Have fun!

Talon and Electrocompanient always show together so they harmonize well in combination. The speaker is also easy to drive. The Red Dawn cables should work just fine we use them together all the time. There are plenty of speakers that should work well. Any of the Talon's, the ones mentioned above, the Silverline, Soliloquy, etc.

I have a 120 amp and the cd player. I have used this amp with the following speakers - Quad 989 (good match) - Eggleston Andras (fair match - could use more power) - Legacy Whispers - (great match). I also used it with my Martin Logan Odysseys in a biamp mode - it handled the top end with great success and clarity. It is now in my bedroom system with a pair of Gershman Acoustic Avant Garde RX 20's - this is a really good match and the most affordable - these speakers really bring it on with this amp.
