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.
I have the Sati.
It's now back in Denmark for service so I'm running a couple of classic ss amps like the spectral 150 and ML 23.5.
They all work fine though I'm still struggling with some room acoustics that drive the bass all over the place. There's another thread discussing it.
Think though I've made some progress with it now.
Also, though I get great life, dynamics, height and width of the scene, I don't get that much layering and depth. Not sure why.

I have been reading the above posts and F.Y.I. Tommy Horning said he never designed his speakers to be powered by push pull amps!
Dev,
That's interesting because the Horning speakers are a 4 ohm load. Seemingly more towards push pull friendly than most SETs.
