I'm running a pair of B&W 604s3's with a AES/Cary superamp, and a Mcintosh pre. I cut my teeth with a pair of ASL wave 8 mono's and they sounded great. So much so I sold my Mac MC162's running mono at 320wpc. The superamp is 15wpc and I've rolled and found a great tube match so far. All B&W's are a little foward in the mids, and I think this makes for a good match with the B&W's. Keep in mind that the combo must work with pre, source and amp.
Calling B&W speaker users with tube power amp
Hi,
Am currently using a B&W Matrix 803 series 2 speakers, driving it with a solid state power and tube pre. Am actually preferring tube sounds. Therefore, am toying with the idea of getting a tube power to replace the ss. Big question in mind is whether tube power amp is able to drive the speakers.
Could anyone who is using B&W speakers driven by tube power amp share experiences pls? pls also inform what brand/watt of the tube power amp used.
Thanks.
