Best Dark Sounding Amp For Bright Speakers?


What is the best amp to drive Infinity Kappa 8.1"s. I have a VTL TL- 2.5 preamp driving a SS amp but the sound is still bright. Thanks for any input.

The new SA102 from Plinius is worth a try. An excellent amp, but Peter Thompson voices them with Shahinian speakers - and so they tend to work best with metal dome tweeters and need quite 'open' sounding cables. But if you get the balance right the naturalness of the sound, dynamics and inner detail are simply superb. The SA102 is more like half a SA250 MkIV than the SA100 MKIII it replaces. Dryer than tubes, but otherwise very similarly lush and full with a dose of added magic.
Can I just make a request that they be red socks until after we have retained the Americas Cup?
