A couple of years ago I owned the original Concertinos for a few months and drove them with a VTL 50 watt tube amp. For me I felt that they sounded underpowered. I sold the Concertinos before I tried them with a different amp. Maybe my memory is fuzzy or now my ears are more tuned but I remember first hearing the Concertinos in the late 90's at a Tweeter store (remember those) and they sounded quite good driven by a Marantz SS receiver. I distinctly remember them having a sparkle that I wasn't able to reproduce with the tube amp. Again, maybe my memory is fuzzy and the Concertinos were the first truly high end speaker that I had heard up to that point.
SS or Tube for Sonus Faber Concertino?
SS or Tube for Sonus Faber Concertino?
I have a pair of Sonus faber Concertino home speakers.
Will it be better paired with a 35-75w/ch tube amp or a 100-250w/ch solid state amp(most likely class AB)?
I can't afford a big power tube amp or a class-A 100+w/ch SS amp. 35-75w/ch tube amp or a 100-250w/ch SS amp is probably the most I can afford.
