I use the Triangle Cometes with my PL2 w/ EL34's. Great sounding unit decent at low volume, room is 12 x 20 open walls. More than enough power and with the PL2 you can try the KT88 or the EL34 as well as some other power tubes.
KT88 or EL34 based tube amp for Titus ES
I’m shopping for a new integrated tube amp for my Triangle ES speakers. Music source at the moment would be Logitech squeezebox internet music streamer. Room size is 12X12. Primary listening habits: Jazz, classical, vocals at low volume at most of the time. I have a few ideas:
1. PL Prologue Two
2. Mystere ia11 (or do I need step up to ia21 to get the best out of my speakers)
3. PL Prologue Three/Five combo
I never get a chance to compare KT88 ( power) with EL34 (tone) side by side, some people like EL34’s the mids and the soundstage. I understand that KT88 might go lower,…but does it really matters with small bookshelves like mine? Any suggestions? Thanks.
