If you want a truly clean amp that is world class then you should look at Sim audio w-10's or a pair of w-5's. These amps have great control over Martin Logan SL3 offering a huge stage with great dynamics as well as delicate nuiances.If you can afford two w-5 LE (limited edition) amps, these offer a true glimpse of sonic bliss. I think that this would be a match made in heaven, so good hunting Dennis
Active Biamping of Your Dreams for Magneplanars
I have been thinking about upgrading my system a bit and searching the archives for threads on amplifiers to use with my Magneplanar Tympani IVa's.
Most of you seem to suggest that you could never have too much power for Maggies -- not to mention the greater demands of the three panel per side design.
Therefore, I am wondering how I might make a significant upgrade, without spending shocking amounts of money.
One idea is to buy another ML 23.5, use the pair for the low end, and actively crossover to a tube amp for the highs.
Good idea?
Next idea: same thing, but upgrade to a pair of 20.6 monoblocks.
Or a pair of Pass Lab monoblocks?
Aragon Palladiums?
Would like to spend < $10,000 and retain the reliability and slam of solid state in the low end please.
