Seasons greetings..First off you will absolutely notice a difference with an amp upgrade...You’ll need something with a smooth,warmish sound for those speakers & a bit more than 25wpc...
IMO Simaudio has lost some of it’s magic since the i5..Haven’t heard Krell since the 400xi which I liked a lot..I don’t trust Sugden since my AmpMaster blew up..
I can ABSOLUTELY recommend the Pathos "Classic Remix Mk.II"(NOT InPol)hybrid which I am demo’ing in my system now...BEAUTIFUL build quality & aesthetics,made in Italy & a sublime tone(in my system)...Good luck...
PS:Talk to UpScale Audio & ask them if they can get you a discount,I got 20% off mine...
Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s?
I would appreciate recommendations for an Integrated Amp that would complement my speakers. Martin Login Motion 60’s supplemented with SVS SB-2000 Subwoofers. Cardas Crosslink cables. I would like to move away from class “D” to solid state class “A” or “A/B”. Amplifier must have pre-outs for the Subs. No DAC. Have read great things about Coda, Luxman, Krell, Rega, Simaudio, and Sugden. BIG room with 18’ ceilings. Sources are all digital. Listen to all types of rock and occasional blues/ jazz guitarist. $5k is budget new or used. My class “D” has detail and accuracy at lower volumes, but when I turn it up, it seems to lose depth and fullness. I’m hoping a Class “A” or “A/B” can help with that? If Luxman, 507 vs 550? Sugden A-21SE vs the IA-4 or ANV-50? Will I even notice a difference with these speakers? I realize the ML’s are not a reference level speaker, but I enjoy them. If you have heard these speakers with an amp you enjoyed, please let me know. I am not close to any brick and mortar to listen. Thank you.
