Do you already have these amps in house? You say you have them so assuming you do just try both and see which sounds better.
Choosing the right amplifier for the 2019 Magnepan .7 Speakers; Solid State or Tube
Hello Audio world,
I've recently purchased the brand new .7 Magnepan speakers and have two choices of amplifiers that I can use and I am open to suggestions for other types. I have the Jeff Rowland Model 12's monoblock (4 Chassis design) 200 Watts 8 ohms & 350 Watts in 4 ohm load as well as the Cary Audio CAD 805 AE (Anniversary Edition) monoblock amplifier with a 211 output tube installed giving it 70 Watts of Pure Class A. I'm also going to purchase the Magnepan "Instant Upgrade" fuse replacement kit from Verastarr (Mike Powell) and the upgraded stands to experience the best sound possible. The choice of preamps are the Audio Research LS17 SE with the Jeff Rowlands and for the other system I have the Cary Audio SLP05 with the Ultimate Upgrade for the preamp with the Cary CAD805 AE.
Thanks
