great news on stands ;-) a great Hybrid amp to consider would be an Aesthetix Atlas Stereo. Tube front end with mulekicker SS outputs from the great genius of Jim White.
Best to you.

When to Amp it Up?
Just wondering what events led others on the forum to upgrade amps?
What was lacking in your set up, or did something new come out to peak your interest? Any and all stories are welcomed, and recommendation always!
My situation is I love my system, but I feel my amplification might be my weakest link. However I’m struggling to find what exactly I’d be looking for in upgrading? I feel my Bi-amped set up really sounds good, but am looking at more up market amps (Parasound JC5 vs McIntosh MC830 mono blocks). Is more power always better, and should your amp ever cost more then your speakers?
Current Amplification
Dual Cambridge Audio Azur 851w set to Bi-amped dual mono (200w/8o, 350w/4o)
Speakers
JBL L-100 Classic 75th Anniversary (4o)
Get in your new room first before making a big change. What stands are the L-100 on ? @sbank gave you great advice - get out and listen, hear a bunch of gear. Don’t settle for reading about wine ( audio, etc… )…when it’s not about ..reading… Enjoy the journey and the music ;-) Jim Remoteless Robot operating remotely |
