Fritz Carerra Be + Audio Research Ref 3 = WHAT TUBE POWER AMP


Hi folks

I have a ARC Ref 3 preamp on the front end and a pair of Fritz Carrera 7 Be on the back. Never had a tube power amp before and I think it would be a good time to try one. What do you recommend? room is 13 x 11, budget is up to $6000 used, should I go balanced?, I like a smooth warm sound without sounding veiled...

I do have dual KEF KC62 subs...

TIA

I had the Be speakers for a while and the tweeter is very detailed and bright (in my room). I suggest an amp that can utilize tubes like EL34 or KT77, KT120. DAC is also important. You might consider emailing Aric at Aric Audio about these: https://aricaudio.com/products.php?product=SPRKT88120

 

I'm using a Cronus DARK with my Be speakers. 2 SVS SB 2000pro in a12x16 treated room, perfect!

I 2nd @hilde45's thought. Give Aric a call. Check out his website. He is great to deal with. All his products are point to point wired and can be modified to suit.
