Jm Lab Alto Utopia what kind of amplifier ?

Hi Zszwedo, I did not suggested you to pair the Altos with the E-560
integrated. You were talking about a pre/power combinations. :)

The Altos deserve/need a bit more power than the E-560 can provide (an
A45 or A46 power amp should be find though). The Helicons sounded better
with the E-560 because the amp was probably much more comfortable when
driving them. (I too have had the Helicons 300 and I have also listened the
Helicon 400 and the Euphonia 400 speakers. To my ears the Focal Utopia Be
speakers where much better than any Dali speaker.)

Hi Zszwedo,

I had very good experience with Accuphase and Musical Fidelity (MF). A MF
integrated like KW-500 or KW-550 will be a very cost effective solution.
However, your choices are probably endless, e.g. Graaf, Jadis, ASR, Pass Labs,
YBA, Rowland, etc. I agree with Atmasphere that the Altos sing very very nicely
with tubes.
