Horning owners what amps have you used?

Just curious what amps other owners, or previous owners, of the Aristoteles, Eufrodite, Agathon or Perikles have used. Chime in even if you don't own these speakers but have an opinion.

I know most everyone has heard these speakers with the TRON Discovery or Telstar at RMAF and the 211 is heavenly IMO, but way out of my price range.

I have the Aristoteles Zigma and a Thoress 300B SET (8w). I love it, but like anyone else who is possessed with sound addiction, as Neil says: rust never sleeps.

Has anyone used anything less than 8 watts? Or more power like a 300B PP or 845? I do have a Berning ZH270, and unlike a fellow Audiogon-er who had the ZH230 and Eufrodite and thought highly of the match, the ZH270 sound is not my thing.

Yes its a good match. I find that 10 watts SET delivers high volume in a large open living room with preamp volume knob at 12:00. No real need for anything more than 10 tube watts with these speakers.

Take these factors into account:

High sensitivity.

No crossover in the Eufrodite.

Complex internal horn structure takes impulse from all 10 drivers in the case of the Eufrodite.

What this means is that they should be used with the same type of amp used in their design and voicing (high quality SET, I believe).

They are really nice speakers. I wonder how my old ones compare to the new model with the curved cabinets.
