Thanks to all of you who have commented so far for sharing your considerable knowledge and experience. I will work on optimizing room placement of the Eidolons first, per your suggestions, and then try some of the amps recommended. Additional comments are certainly welcome. There seems to be some difference over tubes vs. solid state. Anyone have more to add on that? Are tube amps a lot more trouble?
Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers?
Just bought a pair of Avalon Eidolon speakers through Audiogon (they're glorious !) and am looking for an ideal amplifier match. I've heard Accuphase and Jeff Rowland Model 12s mentioned as good matches. At present I have a Theta Dreadnaught II 5-channel amp with a Lexicon 12B preamp, and Nordost SPM cables and interconnects. I listen mostly to classical, jazz, and vocals. Any suggestions?
