Thank you jafox and chayro. I did speak with Klaus and he asked me to send my Stratos mono blocks after the Christmas season; he promised to look them over, recap them and do whatever additional modifications he sees fit. So, I might go that route. Had a one-on-one consultation with Jay (whitecamaross) and he recommended the Parasound JC1+. So, considering that as well. My preamp is BAT Vk5i (quite happy with it but may consider replacing that component at some later point in time). Thanks again for your comments🙏
Best match for Gershman Black Swans
Hello to all my fellow music lovers,
Just managed to buy a pair of Gershman Black Swans (upgraded from Gershman Avant Gardes) and am currently driving them with Odyssey Audio Stratos mono blocks (180 wpc Class A/AB). While the speakers sound good, I am wondering if I am doing full justice to them. Hence, I am seeking some input on possible good matches for the Black Swans. Currently considering Pass Labs mono blocks (160.8) or the PS Audio BHK 300 mono blocks. Open to other suggestions (Parasound, Mark Levinson, Classe, etc.). Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Happy listening!
