Best Amp for my Pipedreams and ML 32

The treble of the Krell is fixed w. the Elrod power cord. I stongly suggest you try it. You will save a lot of money. Just get the power cord & try the Krell on top. It transforms the Krell FPB 600. Even helps the articulation of the bass. It will save you a lot of money. Just try to Elrod Power Cord on your existing Krell & try it on the 2 towers. I have heard it with tubes in a show and I could hear the subwoofer separate from the Towers. The towers sounded glorious.

The Gamut m200 pair should do the trick.

First of all, thanks for all the very helpful responses.

Sorry I forgot to state that I also have the VAC Master Controller Preamp and can also use that with the Pipedreams. The only qualification is that I want to use ss, not tubes for my amps and that I want to biamp the system. I would consider selling the Krell if the synergy issue is a real problem.

Any thoughts regarding SS amps with the VAC preamp?

The biggest problems that i've seen with trying to run a tubed preamp with an SS power amp had to do with impedance mismatches. Due to the way that most gear is ( poorly ) designed, you have to factor in a HUGE impedance mismatch when going this route. That is, most tubed pre's want to see a very high input impedance on an amp. Trying to run a tubed pre with an SS amp that has a lower input impedance typically results in a very warm, syrupy thick bloat that sounds terrible. So long as you can keep the input impedance of the amplifier kind of high, you shouldn't run into too many problems. Otherwise, you may end up spending a fortune on cabling and tube-rolling trying to resolve a basic electrical mismatch. Sean

I use with 21 Pipedreams :
digital :EMM Labs Meitner combo SACD+ DAC6e ( cd+ sacd) the best
analogue :Forsell Air reference+ Forsell arm+ Lyra Clavis
phono pre amp ( two chassis all tube)*
preamp (two chassis all tube)*
for mid \treble amplification:
two OTL monos 550w each in 8 ohms ( pl 519 tubes)*
*( produced by me and a friend)
for bass
QSC pl6
All nordost Valhalla and Shunuata Anaconda and 2 Hydra 8
this is the best sound i got from 21 pipes: coerent,fast; detailed,musical ,non fatiguing for all levels and kind of music
Crag Oxford,boss of Nearfield Acoustics and Audio Emotion Audio had heared my system at my home in Portugal and ... ask him his opinion, he has bought from me same amps afterwards...

Before i tried Spectral gear,Audionote gear,OTL Tenor w75 with Krell,and Qsc 4050 but no coherency and musicality at all
