I have a room your size, with Vandersteen 2CEs and Pass X150s. I would at least consider the 150 series, new or used. Capacity to drive with most of your listening in Class A. I heard a Cornwall IVs with low-watt tubes and I preferred my setup.
Pass....Accuphase....or......
Hi Audiogoners!
I need a new power amp to my Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation (18 watts minimum recommended input power / 8 ohm).
Have a Mark Levinson No.532 that keeps broking down and it's getting too expensive to fix in Europe.
Music: Classical/symphonic and jazz.
Room: 13 x 26
Preamp: Auralic DAC/Pre (but this can change....)
Ideas so far:
Pass Labs XA-25 (hype or really good and powerful enough?)
Accuphase A-48 (too polite?)
If you have a minute....I need ideas in that price range...+/- $$. Thanks!
