I've been using an all Atmasphere setup (M60s and MP-1) for about six years with my Duos. It straddles the so-called line between accuracy and musicality better than anything else I've heard, including SETs, and the result is purity. To me this (purity) is the holy grail in audio reproduction. I remove the V2 driver tube on my M60s to achieve lower gain due to AG sensitivity and this gives me the gain structure and idle quiesence needed.
Preamps with Avantgarde speakers
Hi. Although I’ve seen several threads regarding good amps to use with Avantgarde speakers I do not recall any threads that dealt with preamps. For the AG users out there, what preamp do you use/recommend and why do you like it? It would also be insightful to know what amp you use with the preamp & which AG speaker you have. Thanks for your comments. (Note, I have Duos.)
