You may be happy with Rogue amps, not the most revealing, but very nice sound.
Recommendations for tube amp to replace Plinius
I am driving a pair of Legacy Focus speakers with a Plinius 100 mk3. The Focus speakers have an impedance of 4 okms and a sensitivity of 96db. As such the speakers may be a good match for a tube amp. Any recommendations for a tube amp in the $2500.00 used market range? The rest of my system consists of the Placette passive pre-amp and a Cary 306/200 cd.

Unless you want to be a guinea pig, I think the best advice is for you to poll Legacy Focus users for what amps work best with these speakers. Use a subject line like "Best amp for Legacy Focus loudspeakers?". I think you would probably like the amps I am using, Atma-Sphere M-60's, but the 4 ohm impedance of your loudspeaker requires the use of a product called the ZERO autoformer to achieve good results. Paul Speltz, ZERO designer, would be a good source of information. His email address is listed at the ZERO site. The ZERO's can replace your speaker cabling. Used M-60's and new ZERO's will cost about $2,500-$3,000. Another excellent resources is the Atma-Sphere Owner's Group, obviously a site dedicated to Atma-Sphere products, but they will discuss other brands as well. There are a number of technically savvy users there that will give you good advice. |
