..not knowing what your budget is i can make a suggestion.i too have piega p-10s' and did have tenor 75wis for about a year.the 4 ohm load that the p-10s' present was not a great match for the tenors.last oct i traded them for a goldmund mimesis 29m amp.it is probably one of a handful of ss amps that can be considered possibly the best out there.goldmund isn't well know because they,for what ever reason,choose not to have their products reviewed much.the amp is absolutely superb.it is not inexpensive,at $19k,but is well worth it and is much superior,in my setting,to the tenor.my piegas' are unbelievable now.i heard the new c-10 ltds last year but for the forseeable future i am staying with the p-10s' because of what i am hearing now.i have heard halcros',krells,levinsons and lamms and the goldmund beats them all,imo.good luck
Power amp to complement a Levinson 32 preamp
Hi, after deciding to downgrade my system, the hifi hobby has come back to me stronger than ever. I recently upgraded my system getting a Levinson 32 preamp. I am looking to upgrade the power amp and I am doubting between tubes (perhaps audio research) and solid state, perhaps getting a Pass. I fully realize that a valve preamp combination and a solid state amplifier is the more common solution, but perhaps irrationally, I love the 32. The environment for the decision is the following:
- I listen at moderate levels (I live a flat)
- My space is limited, so monoblocks are out of the question
- Speakers are Piega P10, 89 db sensitivity.
Thanks for your suggestions
