What's about EDGE Audio ?


Hi everyone,
i want to buy an Edge amplifier. Do you know if the Factory is on the business, or
is it failed in 2011 and closed ?
Thanks.

The original Edge Electronics company can be found at http://www.edgeamps.com/. Edge was sold to the current owner in 2001 by the original owner, Tom Maker, who now owns Maker Audio.
The only model I can find the age of is the 12.1 which apparently came out in 2005. Generally speaking each newer iteration is thought to offer some level of improvement, but of course opinion comes in here so YMMV. As far as matching with a tube preamplifier, that would primarily depend upon the input impedance of the power amp which I do not see listed in the specs given on their website. I would suggest contacting the company directly for more details and the answers to your specific questions.
MMB, maybe you meant 34K Ohm? If so, it would probably be ok with most tube preamps but you may want to try a given combination before you make any commitment. If a power amp's input impedance is too low relative to the preamp's output impedance it can result in rolled off bass and limited dynamics.
