SEEKING AN AMPLIFIER THAT MATES WELL WITH MARTIN LOGAN 11 A IMPRESSIONS


Room is 18' long by 11 foot wide with 8 foot ceilings and light drapes on order for rear wall. I sit about 10 feet from the speakers.

Current Equipment: 1. Martin Logan 11A 4 feet from rear wall and 16 inches from side wall. Set up by dealer using Anthem to maximize the internal woofers.

2. Cary Audio 306/200 as a transport with Chord Qutest DAC

3. Conrad Johnson tube power amp classic 62   65 watts per channel

which replaced Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum II 100 watts/channel-CJ sounds better.

4. Rogue Audio Preamp RP-1

Not happy with the sound, speakers sound anemic to me. I was thinking that a more powerful amp would bring the speakers to life. I realize that the woofers have a built in 375 watt amp.  In short, what amp would work better than my current set up? I'm assuming a better match of amplifier would improve the overall sound. 

Thank you.

The way to buy is directly from KS on their website.  https://www.kinki-studio.com/

That is how I bought mine.

BTW, the name Kinki is the owner's wife's first name.

If you are in Socal you are welcome to listen to mine in my home or even take it home if you want to make 2 trips.  It is in my backup system.

Thanks,

Try the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra. @orchardaudio is running an amp tour. You get a week to try it for FREE. Merely pay shipping to the next person on the list. The Absolute Sound did a video using it to drive Magneplanars. Contact Leo at Orchard Audio to join the fun.

I’m not associated with OA, but did buy the amp after participating in the tour. It is an amazing amp. Can’t go wrong with a free demo. I haven't heard it with Martin Logan. Unfortunately, my friend passed away before we got to audition my amp with his ML CLS. 

Thanks,
