Best Amps match for Egglestonworks Andra 2 ?


Hello,

I have a pair of Andras 2 powered by a pair of Pass Labs Aleph 1.2 themselves driven by a CD Audio Aero Capitole 2 and a BAT VK 51 SE. Pretty good system but I would like to gain more soundstage and even more musicality and rythm.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a pair of mono amps achieving an even better match with the Andras 2 and the Bat preamp than the Aleph 1.2 ?

Thanks for your help.

I use 200 wpc Lamm M2.1 hybrid monoblocks with my Andra 2 speakers. (I do use some NOS Amperex pinched waist 6922's rather than the stock Sovtek tubes that come with the Lamms though.)

These amps have a nice touch of tube mid-range magic, as well as a well extended treble response, (thanks to the NOS tubes, )with lots of decay to the cymbals. In addition, these amps really bring out the bass response in the Andra 2's, so much so, that I think I need to do a bit of room treatment. (I have a room with lots of room nodes, as it is 8' x 16' x 24'). However, there is nothing quite so satisfying as having deep, quick, tight bass response.

My two cents worth.
