What amp with Innersound Eros ?

The best sounding amps I ever had driving the Eros were the Monarchy Audio SE-160 tube/MOSFET monos. The tube amps I tried, including a highly modified Dyna ST-70 and a Music Reference RM-9 Signature did not work that well. I don't think that most tube amps will deal well with the dramatic impedance curve the Eros presents.

I'd look for a good tube/MOSFET hybrid amp like the Monarchy's. I'm now using the NuForce Reference 8 and Reference 9 amps with very good results on other speakers... With a nice tube preamp up front, the NuForce, and other high quality solid-state amps should work well with the Eros. Just make sure the particular amps you select will work well with low impedance, high-capacitance loads. Good Luck.

I tried the InnerSound amp... It was decidedly bright on the Eros. Also, the upper bass was a bit thin. But maybe you'd like a bright, thin, but dynamic sound. :)

Then again, the Innersound amp sounded pretty good on the Eros when I used it with a tube preamp that plumped the upper bass and rolled the top a bit.

Well yeah, like I said, using a tube preamp to roll the top works pretty well. And yes, the Transcendent preamp, which I had in my system (and pretty much all other tube preamps) seem to roll the upper treble to my ears.

, if you're using the InnerSound crossover amp you probably won't like the InnerSound amp on the Eros because that crossover amp (made by Coda like the ESL amp), will not mask the brightness.
