Where do I go from here?
We finally moved into a home that allows me to unbox the remnants of a system that I boxed up almost 20 years ago. After two decades, I'd forgotten what I had until I unboxed a pair of Martin Logan Class, a pair of Acoustat 1+1s, a Robertson 6010. At one point I owned a BAT VK-60, butsold that and an Audible Illusions preamp around 2008...a decision that I regret today. I also uncovered new replacement panels for the CLSs. Since this stuff has been boxed-up I've been away from audio completely. That's about to change. I plan to continue enjoying the CLSs and plan to return to tube tube amps. I loved the VK-60's sound and it looks fantastic.
My question is more about streaming. My sense is that I get away with a streamer, subscribe to a service, and use it as my pre-amp connected to the power amps. .. Is it that simple? I don't want to deal with CDs or vinyl. I want to simplify my life. I'm looking for feedback. Is my plan viable?
this ’all in one’ came up in another discussion,
the discussion https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/i-m-looking-for-an-sleek-integrated-amp-under-15k ......................... I, and others linked several options, some with phono, one with cp player option, one with 3 optional cards seems many exist for far less than $15K |
What fun to re-discover your prior equipment. What size room are you going to use them in? Speaker Concerns, (I never heard them) Found this about your speakers Used for ___ years and boxed for 20 years gives me pause. Is the plastic diaphragm aged in a negative way? I would inspect and then listen before buying other equipment. Then go from there. 100 watts is decent power for them. I love my tubes, but 100 wpc tubes is a lot of heat, and the article says the ??? should stay energized? |
