| What amp to replace BAT VK-250 w/Dali & Aesthetix? I have the TAD-125 monoblocks by Bizzy Bee. I am using them on Vandy 2CE signatures. At 86 DB these monos drive the heck out of the Vandys. Check Paul's website for specs... Eagleman | |
| TAD-125 Monoblocks I stand by the review that I wrote 4 months ago. These monos are in a different league from the TAD 60 that I had before. While I liked the TAD 60 in my system the 125s really opened up my Vandys. The important thing is how they work in your syste... | |
| Amp/preamp suggestions in $3000-4000 range Rick, Based on your music tastes with the Vandys, you want an amp/ pre combo that will make them sound lively and balanced. While my B&k, McCormack, and TAD 60 sounded nice, the one thing that bothered me the entire time that I had those three... | |
| Amp/preamp suggestions in $3000-4000 range I have the 2CE sigs. I had a McCormack DNA1 which sounded OK. Then I bought a TAD-60 tube amp which blew the Mccormack away. Then went to the new TA-125 Monos which blew the TAD 60 tube amp away. Depending on what music you listen to I would sugge... | |
| TADs SS Hibachi Amps Audiobob,Unfortunately I can't gauge how these amps will work on just bass drivers. I do know that I had the TAD 60 prior and these monos best it in just about every aspect. As far as speed, punch, and deep bass, all I can say is that , with my Va... | |
| Tubes to solid state for amplifier path... I owned a TAD60 in Houston , TX. Never had an issue. Have since gone back to SS for other reasons. | |
| Affordable High Watt Tube Amp Wanted If you can go to 7-800 lookfor a TAD-60 Amp with 60 watts per channel. Drove my Vandys well. Don't know of anything meeting your criteria in that price range. | |
| TADs SS Hibachi Amps I wrote a review in that section a couple of months ago. These amps are a giant killer. They mate very well with the TAD 150 and my Vandy 2CE signatures. They make the Vandys sound lively, detailed, and transparent. Huge soundstage. Came back over... | |
| Any thoughts in ICE amps? I had a D-sonic with 525 watts per channel on my Vandys for a couple of days. While the sound was nice with good detail and transparency, it did not seem to image well and the soundstage was rather linear exposing the speakers. I mean that the sou... | |
| Have $600 Need input on upgrade for Acurus Amp If you can go a bit higher try the ube Audio Design 125 monos. If not then a McCormack DNA-0.5 used or DNA-1. | |
| what power amplifier are really punchy TAD 125 monos. I had a DNA-1, which was surpassed by the TAD60 and the TAD 125 bests it in all categories. I listen to classic rock on Vandy 2CE sigs and the TAD is a great match for punch and dynamics. | |
| NAD, and Vandersteen If you could stretch to around 1100 you could probably land a DK design Mk2. | |
| NAD, and Vandersteen If budget is your limiting factor then I guess NAD would work but, the Vandys are fairly inefficient and will improve as your electronics improve. If you listen to Rock like I do you want a lively sounding amp and not sure if NAD would be a good f... | |
| HELP You can probably find a DK Design MK2 unit for around $11 or 1200. Your dealer sounds like a real jerk. Any real salesperson should ask you about the rest of your system before they sell you something that may not be compatible with. | |
| Tube Rolling for TAD-150 Love the TAD125. It is better for my current system than the 60. Livlier, more detailed, richer runs cool. The 60 was a bit warmer but, the 125 is a better match for my system and the music that i listen to.... How did the groove tube X7s stack up... |
