Hmmm, this is all good to know. I'm using Blue Circle separates to power my little ProAc Tablette 50 Sigs, and they're a wonderful match. I can't afford to buy even used 2.5s, so I was considering tackling the 2.5 DIY project and was wondering if what I had was enough to power the 2.5s. Now I'm really encouraged.
Powering ProAc Response 2.5's
Hello all. I'm considering purchasing a used pair of ProAc 2.5's to replace some Vandersteen 2ce Sigs, and I need some advice on the amp/pre-amp combination. What I already have to work with is a Musical Fidelity A-3cr amp/pre combo, as well as a Rogue 66 preamp. What do you think - will the Musical Fidelity be adequate, or am I buying to much speaker for that setup? It seems like many people favor tubes for the ProAcs. Would I be better off using the Rogue for my preamp with the MF amp*? Also, if I were to go with an all tube setup and keep the Rogue, what would be a good, reasonably priced USED tube amp to drive the ProAcs (e.g. $1000-$1500)? Thanks for your opinions.
*PS - the Rogue is reported to be a phase inverter. Do I need to compensate for this?
