| SET amp recommendations for Zu Definition II's I would use the Coincident Technology Frankenstein's at 8 watt/channel and MSRP $5,000. Thy are as clean as a whistle and surprisingly powerful sounding. If one needs more tube power the Coincident Technology Dragon's at 70 watt are also great. | |
| ear 868 0r modwright LS 36.5 w PS or VTL 7.5 S1 Th best under 10K preamp I have heard is the Coincident Technology Linestage at $5,000. The only shortcoming being only 2 or 3 inputs. It can cause you to re-think your front end. At over 10K the Einstein "The Tube Mk11" is oustanding. It is very ... | |
| Best value amplifier under or near $6K In the solid state realm I saw on Audiogon a Clayon 200 watt amp at $4,700. That is a gre3at deal for an outstanding amp. Or a used McCormack DNA-500. In third place a Modwright KWA-150.As far as tubes are concerned, if you have a high effriciency... | |
| what are some of the best amplifiers For solid state amps, the "best" ones are those made by Clayton (Class A amps), McCormack DNA-500, and Modwright KWA-150. But the Clayton's and the McCormack's are the best.In the tube realm, if you have high efficiency speakers the Coincident Tec... | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? Magnepan's like a lot of current. I would choose between McCormack DNA-500, Clayton 100 watt or 200 watt Class A amps, or Modwright KWA 150. All these amps are superior to the Krells, Levinsons, Brystons, etc. | |
| what are some of the best amplifiers Yes, I meant the McCormack DNA-500. But the Modwright KWA-150 is also very good. But the Clayton Class A amps are also at the top. All these solidstate amps are better than the Krells, Levinsons, Rowlands, etc.For tube amps, if you have high effec... | |
| what are some of the best amplifiers The best solid state amps are the Modwright DNA-500 and any of the Clayton Class A amps. They are all superior to the Krells, Levinsons, Sim, Rowland, etc.The best tube amps are for low power the Coincident Technologies Frankenstein at 8 watts/cha... | |
| Some of the best pre amps used for $600 or less The Doge 8 lists at around $1300. It is a great pre-amp. If you can find it used, gobble it up. | |
| what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass The best solid state amps are the Modwright DNA=500 and any of the Clayton class A amps. They are both liquid sounding without any of that typical solid state glare. | |
| Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ? I would try to listen to the Marten Dukes. I think they list at $8,500 and have the high tech ceramic drivers from Accuton.On the less expensive side you might try the Gallo Strada's and maybe add their subwoofer.Greg | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K You can never go wrong with Coincident Technologies. The Gallo 3.5 Reference at $6K is also excellent. The new Vaughn Cabernet at $8500 may be the best speaker south of $10K--heck, might be the best up to $15K.Greg | |
| Driving ProAc Response 2 With Solid State The Response 2's have incredible bass, particularly when placed on those incredibly expensive Target stands. I have played them in 2 different rooms--one a huge living room that is 20feet x 30 feet and drove them with the OCM amp with Classe 30 pr... | |
| Driving ProAc Response 2 With Solid State I have a pair of Response 2's that I have driven with both an OCM/Belles 300 solid state amp with a Classe 30 pre-amp and later with an Aragon 2007 (7 x 200 watts) with the Aragon Stage One AV pre-amp.They sound great with either. I bought the Ara... |
