I love my Merlins and am mulling over an amp upgrade. I've heard of people driving Merlins with low powered SET and OTL amps, but, for example, the Art Audio PX-25 amp is only 6 WPC. Is that enough juice?
I've never heard the Diavolo but FWIW, I've spoke with Joe Fratus (he used to be the man behind Art Audio line in the US) a couple times and I got the impression that the Diavolo was his favorite amp in the lineup.
Agree with Darkmoebius. I had the PX25 for a short while. Loved what it did but was just a few watts short of driving my Zu Definitions to max capabilities. I ended up with the Carissa at 16 watts, and that did it for me. Anyway, (FYI) there is an Art Audio Diavolo up for sale on that other popular site for $2300.00. That comes in at 13 wpc.
Congrats on your purchase. I was wondering if that was you who made the purchase. I had it in my watch list and noticed it sold the other day. You got it at a great price. Please let us know if the power suites your needs.
