I use a Meridian 557 200 watt amp and a Meridian 502 solid state Pre-amp on my SL3's. Very warm indeed. The power cords of Electraglide have tamed all of the highs with the warmness of the British Meridian components.Steve
SS amp and tube preamp combo for Martin Logan Sl-3
Can you guys/gals give me any suggestions on a SS amp and tube preamp for the M.L. SL-3's? I've been thinking of the Bryston 4bst and a Rogue 66. My musical tastes tend toward rock, jazz and some R&B. My current setup is a Parasound HCA-1500a with Audio Research LS-3 preamp. The sound I have gets a bit harsh sounding in the highs but I love the detail so I'm definately looking to tame the harshness while preserving as much detail and dynamics as possible. I would even consider a SS amp and SS preamp combo as well if it would get rid of the harshness. Thanks for the suggestions.
