The Best Amplifier with JBL L 100T3

Recordho
Thanks for reply. You are absolutely right. Bass on JBLs
is very tight but I was thinking to go with Integrated Amp.
For now I use new Rotel RA 1520. The bass is great but the
highs are not that crisp. I was thinking to go with
Luxman L505u. In the past Luxman, Pioneer, Marantz were
good match with JBLs, but now!! So far the best sound I
got is from Conrad Johnson CA200 borrowed from My friend but
it's way to expensive. My limit is $3500.00.
Thanks

Right now on this site there is a Hafler DH-220 amp that would drive those speakers beautifully - and the guy is only asking $130 - BUY THIS AMP!!

JBL's by design have sonically tight bass because of it's studio lineage. Some say the bass is dry and some say too fat. I had good luck using several tube amplifiers. For instance VTL ST85 had tight bass for a tube amp. My Dyna ST70 dis a very good sound too. You might try a hybrid amp like a Pathos hybrid amp. There are others but this sits at the top of my list. I also like the Moscodes too. Your JBL's don't need alot of power. Also you must know your product upstream too. Sometimes they can change the character of sound.
