YOU MUST NOT OVERLOOK THE jj LINE OF AMPS. I HAVE AND SO DO MY FRIENDS THE jj 828 a 100 POUND BEAST OF AN AMP. THIS IS FULLY REMOTE CONTROLLED AND HAS BEEN GAUGED [MEASURED] AT UP TO 120 WATTS PER CHANNEL . fIT AND FINISH VERY NICE AND VERY NUETRAL IN IT'S SOUND. POWERFULL BOTTOM END. DID I MENTION FULL REMOTE? I AM AT THE MOMENT PLAYING MINE ON A PAIR OF hALES WITH VERY GOOD RESULTS. tHESE DO PREFER A SEALED BOX SPEAKER. FOR SOME REASON. HOPE THIS IS OF ANY USE. PAUL
Tube Amp Recommendation
I am saying goodbye to my Linn active system (at least temporarily) to give tubes a try. I have purchased a set for North Creek Catamount speakers, said to be designed for tube amplification. But, of course, I need a good tube amplifier. Looking to purchase something used in the under $3000 range. While I'm looking for the tube experience, I don't want anything too colored and it must still have good, crisp low-end performance. My present consdierations are a Audio Research VT 100 mkII or BAT vk60. Any thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated. Amplifier will probably be fed directly a Wadia player. My thanks in advance.
