Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe
I'm the original owner of a pair of K's which I've had for about 9 months. I really enjoy them and they're placed in a 30 x 12 room with a sofa bordering 10' of that 30. I listen about 10-12 feet away. Speakers toed in accordingly. Pushed by a Pass XA 30.8. Preamp is a Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme. I'm overall pretty pleased with this set up but am searching for greater punch and clarity in the midrange frequencies at lower volume levels. I'd like opinions on 2A3 or 300B SET's or EL 34 or 84 push pull as a means of addressing this. Thanks for input. -Scott

@scottya118 I don’t know your budget or how flexible you are with it...so this may or may not apply. Member @jazdoc was incredibly happy with an EL 34 build by Scott Sheaffer / Found Music. I believe Scott is currently working on a new / different EL 34 build. If you are open to a bespoke, custom build to your specs and application...I suggest reaching out to him. I was exposed to Scott’s work when I acquired Mike Lavigne’s ( @mikelavigne ) 2A3 monoblock build. I was so impressed, I went for an all out 2A3 effort in 2021. It is stellar. |
If a slight "tailoring" of your sound is all that is needed would a Schitt Lokius suffice at $299 with 15 day money back guarantee? Seems like a possibility before making a large dollar gamble. Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in California |
@david_ten Does Scott/Found Music have a website? A search just turned up your post and Mike's over on WB thanks. |
