martin logan/tubes

I drive a pair of Odysseys with a Mcintosh 352 -solid state- and the Mcintosh 2102 -(tubed) . I also added a Kora Hermes tube DAC and expect the Mcintosh tube C2200 preamp this week. Love that natural sound the tubes bring to a non-fatigue listening session. The 2200 also has a tubed phono stage built in which I am interested in hearing with my VPI Aries. I use a Peavey Cosmos to balance the slight difference in gain of these two amps .

I had a pair of sequels powered by a CONRAD JOHNSON MV-75a power amp,also a Premier 3 preamp.Liquid sound,really miss that combination.Cant go wrong give it a try.Cheers

I have run ascents prodgy oydessy and request with tubes ,the new models work better than the old but all you need is arround 75+watts on the pannel and solid state on the woofers problem is with matching levels bi amping that way but it can be done also I have used a Audio Research vt100mkIII To run the whole speaker but you do lose some bass.Tubes sound better to me thats why I no longer own electrostatics.check out some of the new tube friendly low priced speakers you will be amazed .JK

Not exactly what you were asking, but I have SL3s which I have bi-amped with two ARC D-115's, so it's all tube and really great. I get enormous bass when it's there, like Bob Marley, for example. Perhaps solid state on the woofer would also be terrific, but this system is fantastic. Regards, Tom Bennett
