tiny triodes by vtl are a terrific match.Great low end punch that sounds real and mids that are smooth and detailed.The audio aero cdp matches very well with these speakers and amp.
Amplifier match for MM de Capo i's
Working at piecing together a system based around the 3A de Capo i's and am interested in others' sucessful (and not) matches with amplifiers; brands and power. They list 3w to 150w but would a set of Cary 2A3's at 5w work? I listen to classical mostly, sources are rega cdp and music hall TT. I'm looking in the sub-$1500 used arena. Thanks

Thanks for all the ideas. I went with the Cary Sli-80 integrated for it's price and option of triode and ultralinear. I've owned a Cary SLP-50A and was very pleased with every aspect of it, sonics and build quality. Hope it works out as well as those of you who have found your dream match. Brucegel, the AudioAero is next but I just have to rob a bank or win a lottery first. Seriously though... I hope I hope. |
