Tube amp for Vandersteen Treo CT?
I also went from Quicksilver V-4’s to the Aesthetix Atlas and I think the Atlas is the finest amp I have ever heard with any Vandersteen speaker. In my case I was using Vandersteen Quatro’s not the Treo’s. Based on my experience I would go with the Atlas on the Treo’s. This is of course this is based on my listening priorities and YMMV. I would suggest listening yourself if that is possible. BTW, both the Quicksilver V-4’s and the new Mono 120’s sound great with the Treo’s. All of the Quickies are super reliable and easy to maintain if you really want to go with tubes. Good Luck! |
30 watts of pure class A power is not a trivial amount. I’d not be surprised if the Pass amplifier remains in the less than 30 watt range the vast majority of the listening sessions. This amplifier is capable of considerably more power beyond the class A power range. In comparison to the Hegel amplifier I suspect the Pass has higher current output capability due to a stout and superior power supply. The Hegel despite its power ranting is probably a smaller/ lighter weight amplifier relative to the robustly built Pass Labs amplifier. Charles |
