I have a pair of Quest Z's that I am driving with a pair of Krell 250FPB mc's. I am very happy with the sound. ML speakers can present a difficult load for an amplifier so you have to be careful what you use. I have a friend with a pair of SL3's & he is getting a very nice sound using a solid state CJ amp & tubed CJ preamp. Another friend has a pair of Sequell's & he is using a class A amp of pro gear origin. He is also getting a very nice sound & like me he is using a Sonic Frontiers preamp. All three systems have high output amps with tube preamps & although there are some differences in the sound I could listen to any of them all day.
Best Amps for Martin Logans????
I am looking to upgrade on an amp and don't know which one would best match with my ML SL-3's. I've been reading up a little on amps such as Pass Labs X-150;X-250;
Krell FPB-c series; Jeff Rowland's and Plinius SA-102's.
Even thought of a monster size Krell KSA-300 (185 lbs.)
Many seem to favor the plinius SA-102's but their web site
recommend this amp to be used on speakers rated between 4
to 8 ohms and ML's are rated down to 1 ohm so I guess that
amp is out. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciate your responses.
