I use an ARC Ref 3 with CAT JL-3 Signature Mono's. I like the combination very much. They produce prodigous bass from full-range electrostatic speakers. They are are extremely hard on tubes, but I have not had any reliability issues.
ARC Ref 3 with CAT JL2 or do you need CAT SL1
To All,
I recently changed my Krell KCT with an ARC Ref 3 preamp. I like the preamp very much and am now thinking about upgrading to a tube power amp. There are a few on my list:
ARC Ref 300 or ARC Ref 600
Cat JL2 MK2
I now play with FPB700CX on Wilson Puppy 7.
Will the ARC be a good match with the CAT. Do I not loose bass. I like a strong controlled bass very much and this is why I now play with FPB700CX. How good is the CAT. Everybody says it's bass matches the big Krell amps. Is this true.
Is the SL1 a better preamp than the ARC Ref 3. I heard many people prefer the ARC ref 3. I need balanced out for my FPB700CX so I guess ARC is a better choise for my amp.
Who has compared ARC Ref 3 with CAT SL1. Does the Ref 3 match with the CAT power amps.
Peter
