Compatibility of Cary SLI-100 with ProAc? Magnepan?

proacs and maggies present very different challenges to amplifiers...  i would suggest the push pull cary's will do justice to neither of them

@river251

i am not positive, as i have not tried them personally for some time, but in my recollection the cary pp amps have a softness and opacity of sound that would not mate well with the proac’s response series, whose strength is wonderful imaging and clarity, while maintaining midrange textures and a modicum of warmth

this new sli-100 using kt150’s might be worth a try

top proac’s love tubes, especially the modern audio research sound -- very slight roll off up top, speed and texture throughout the range, and bass control - cary’s traditionally have been more muddled and too rolled off, too mushy in the bass... maybe kt150’s address that...
