| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? I had not noticed this reference on Roger's website before, but somewhat relevant:"The RM-10 came into being in early 1990, when I noticed I rarely played music above a few watts on my Vandersteen 2C speakers."Hmmm. | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Back to your original question though, and already answered, if you like the sound VTLs (what's not to like)85 watts is enough watts:) | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? I think the S30 would not be a good match, very different kind of amps in terms of delivering current. I think you would need M60s and maybe even Speltz autoformers to drive Vandersteens with the lower powered Atma-spheres, but expecially the S30 ... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? David, how did the Belles compare with your Joule and Ars Sonum? Fair comparison? I would love it if the Belles 150A Reference were in their category driving Melrins, but.... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Those 35 watts are magical, though Roger would say "nonsense" to that. But I think it would work for you. I owned the Music Reference RM9 Special Edition which was a limited run ($10,000), point-to-point wiring version of the RM9 with a different ... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? Arj, unfortuantely I hear you:) It feels a bit like chasing your tail. Why, I might just bite the bullet and by a Mac 6600 that will outlast me and be done with it. May not be the very best, but it is quite good and will be with me when I retire i... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? You mean the "upgrade" to the Forte 4A was a big improvement? | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? The 6600, though not Class A, is certainly on my short list. | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? The Mortite idea is interesting. Any concerns with internal temperatures inside a chassis, especially with tubed equipments? Or better to just use on the undercarriage? | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? Though I would love it to be the case, I am not looking to improve upon the Atma-sphere OTLs, just something I could live with happily. I also suspect that I might have to stick with Class A (Sugden, Luxman, Pass, etc.), but I am willing to try A/... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Ah! Well that settles it. | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? Thank you Bobby, No problem with 30 Class A watts of the 21SE?Monk, that is the second time I have heard someone recommend the Blue Circle line, I will explore that too. For someone coming from a Joule, that says a lot, the Joule has sounded fanta... | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? Will never happen:) | |
| SS for Merlins VSMs? I will take a look. Thanks. Anything that can beat a Joule/Air Tight combo is worth a look. | |
| SS amp for Merlin VSMs? The Stellovox looks very interesting and I had never heard of it before. Might be problematic with tube and or passive linestages with its very low input impedance. The Sugden is one of that amps (as an integrated) that I have been very interested... |
