Chuck,I think you are correct.I am one of the people who has an 11A for sale on here.I use it with Thiel 2.3's and it drives them fine,although a little lacking in the bass department.We all know that this is somewhat common with tube equipment.When I bought this amp I said to my friend "70amps is not enough power for me".His reply was that this is no ordinary 70 wpc.He was so right.This amp is as robust as they come for a 70 watter.I absolutely love the sound,almost zero distortion,and the hotter those tubes get the more 3 dimensional the sound becomes.I however am selling mine because I want more power.Looking to buy Premier 12's.I guess you can never have enough power.My friend calls me "The Hammer" because I love it loud.Don't be swayed by all the ads on here for Prem 11A.Go listen to one and if you like it buy it.I highly recommend it!!!
What's up with the conrad-johnson 11amp
I've been a c-j owner for 15 years and have always loved their stuff,especially the power amps. I'm curious as to why there are so many Premier 11 amps for sale on this site-you see what seems like one or two every day! Are they not powerful enough to drive typical speakers,do they not sound good,or what? Fill me in if you have first hand experience with these amps. Thanks!
