| Forgive me. just have fun this hobby will drive you bonkers first and foremost go by what sounds best to you | |
| Best electrostatic in smaller room? Please help! close call between the ml aerius or the maggie 1.6 I would go for the maggie for two reasons one they are believe it or not much easier to place than the martin logan and two they are much cheaper as an alternative maybe the mg-12 much cheaper still | |
| amp for martin logansl3s I used a rowland model 5 for many years and mated it to a pair of sl-3's and it worked really well | |
| Budget System matching, need integr amp try a jolida tube integreted | |
| Will a ALEPH 3 match with an 87 db monit a close call the speakers ohm load is I believe 8 to 5 ohms the pass is only 30 watts at 8 and 60 at 4 but they are a good 30 watts why not try to bring the amp home and try it before you buy it | |
| Tube Amps with Vandersteen 2Ci's ??? try a hybid amp used counterpoint sa-20 or a 220 abound on the used market or any other hybrid | |
| Amps suitable for Martin Logan speakers? try a used rowland amp either a model 5 or one of their mono amps they drive anything and can be found relatively cheap on the used market | |
| Best Pre-Amp with Phono Stage all the above mentioned pre amp are very good my choice for used would be a krell krs2 or an Airtight atc-2 if you could find one and then buy a separate phono stage | |
| BEST USED SS AMP FOR 1.6QR rogue mono blocks will work ok but a krell in the ksa series will work well as will a audio research 100.2 | |
| Best Amp for LS3/5A 15ohm? McIntosh old tube amps sound great and have a 16ohm tap my favorite is the mc-225 for more juice try a mc-275 | |
| integrated amps perhaps a Plinius | |
| Cartridge for Rega Planar 3 though almost impossible to get a good cartridge for under 200 do stay away from grado in the rega they hum in some tables and the rega being one of them a good cheap cartridge and very much under-rated is a denon dl 160 for around 180.00 or a dl-... | |
| Amp to match Rogers LS3/5A any of the old mac tube amps will work really well due to the ohm load of your speakers. my favorite is the mc-225 | |
| Thiel 2.2, whats a good amp for them? any good tube amp rated at 60-100 watts the thiels seem tohave tendency towards brightness in the 7k region and tubes wil tone it down a bit | |
| Which cd player & speakers? rega jupiter /Io combination for a cd set and maggie 1.6 |
