Hello,

I am fairly familiar with the JM Labs speaker line. I listened to the Electra line 906, 926 and ended up with the mini utopia instead. I tested the 906 at home with my McIntosh solid state gear (older C28 pre and 2205 amp). I find the JM Lab gear to be slightly thin sounding. I upgraded my pre amp first to a Herron tube pre amp and it sounded better. When I finally got the Herron mono amps the bass got much better. The amps made the biggest change in the sound. I really like the sound of the JM Labs speakers and if can audition several amps, I think the amp may make the most positve improvement in the sound. I was really was suprised by the contribution the amplifer makes.
