Power/Integrated amp for Martin Logan 11A
Looking for advice on amp/preamp for Martin Logan 11A. My current setup is,
Aurender N100 -> Schitt Bifrost DAC -> Primaluna Dialog Premium preamp -> JC5 -> MartinLogan 11A speakers.
I mostly listen to vocal/Jazz and classical. Like sound with warmth/deep base but clarity is very important too. JC5 is a great amp, they are very stable at 1.5 ohms and also has 90 amperes pick current. I believe they operate as class A up to the first 12 watts and then switch to class B. JC5 sounds a little harsh to my ears. I have my eyes on Luxman amp/preamps as I heard they are a great match for ML. I am thinking of
1. Primaluna Preamp + M700u amp
2. Primaluna Preamp + M900u amp
3. 509x integrated
Any suggestions or any other options. Btw, I have tried prima luna dialogue HP power amp, but I felt the clarity was not there like a SS amp.
