I tried an F3 last year with my Total Victory 3s. In my room (larger than yours at 16x26) the F3 was terrific for chamber music and jazz, but just couldn't bring the weight of a whole orchestra into the space. And it couldn't supply the "grunt" you might want for classic rock. To my ear the TV's sound better with more power, just as less efficient speakers do. YMMV, of course, and I haven't tried tube SET. I can say the F3 was the clearest-sounding amp I've ever heard, and your smaller room might be just right for lesser power. If Reno still has the demo trial available it might be worth your while.
Anyone Try First Watt amp with Total Victory IV
I have purchased a pair of used Coincident Total Victory IV Loudspeakers and I would like to get a first watt amp , I was thinking of F3 or F5 .
Any comments ? or suggestions ?
I can spend around $2500 , the Coincident 300B is too expensive for me at this time.
I listen to mostly classic rock, my room is 12' x 18'
From what I have read tubes are recommended for the TV but I don't have the money for tubes and the First Watt amps are not too expensive.
Can I get the set tube sound with solid state ?
Thank you in advance.
