I use a UL+ amp with a 96db speaker. Its a supelitive amp it does great clean bass no flab or bloat. The rest of the spectrum is very natrual and neutral, no SS would be this way.
Its a super transparent amp. I've been told the 40+ would have more meat on the bones perhaps but I honestly dont want that any more than it is on the UL+. There is a ease to the stage with great layering on this amp.
I also have a Triode Push Pull which can sound very beautiful but it isnt anywhere close to what the UL+ does, the linearity of the UL+ is like a SS without its short comings.
I highly reccomend the LTA if neutrality is what you seek without the SS dryness or other shortcomings.
Need your thoughts - LTA 40+ vs Pathos Inpol Integrated amp on 98db speakers.
Going to buy a different amp, I am interested in a LTA 40+ or and a Pathos Inpol integrated amp to drive my 98db speakers. I cant audition either one with out buying them and returning one of them. That really would be a pain in the butt, but also probably the smartest thing to do. Its hard to find much info on these two products vs each other or against standard tube integrateds. Your thoughts would be appereciated.
