ARONOV LS-9100 ..How realible is this tube amp ?

********NEED SOME ADVISE FOR THIS AMP******
1.Should I trade my Threshold 4000 amp to Aronov Sl-9100
at even trade?
2.My main question now is how realiable this amp ? I heard there are no more support fr. the original maker.
I will mate this amp with my Lector Zoe pre-amp and
Von Schweikert Vr-2 speaker.
Please I need your input for this trade. I am happy at
this time w my s/s Threshold but always like a tube mono amp w/ at least 100 watts per.

Please need your input and advise.I thank you all.

Since you heard them driving the VR-4 then my VR-2 can be a good match too.

Should I trade my vintage s/s Threshold 4000.

Btw, are the SL-9100 is a class A amp?

Thanks,pescolar

Btw, what is the input impedance of the Sl-9100.

My Lector Zoe pre-amp's output impedance is 250ohm...hopefully it will match.Thanks.pescolar

Both of you owned Aronov LS-9601...and Sturgus have LS-9100...There are more audiophile choose the integrated one .why? How much is LS-9100 the lo/high used market priced at this time...any idea?

Anyway If I decide to take LS-9100 in this trade I will replace the stock tubes and get the Golden Lion Kt-88 ( re-issue)...I like Kt-88 better than 6550 tubes..

Guy's thanks for the info you shared with me.This will help a lot.

Since the trade I am seeking for this amp is off.The guy who is one of A'gon member said his Aronov LS-9100 is rare and hard to find and he will regret trading it.

Anyway I decided to get Aronov LS-9601 in the near future that will easily drive my 90db speaker.

Also I will keep my Threshold 4000 Class A amp.. 200 watts s/s class A amp at this time will
cost at least $8k or more..not affordable to audiophile like me.
I thank you all for all the input and info that you shared.
Thank you so much.
