Need more power


I never thought i would say that! But apparently i miscalculated few things while bulding my speakers to match with my vintage Sonic Frontiers Control amp. (El34 50WPC with passive pre). Too much bass-bloat could be surely point toward non-linearity at low frequencies plus isufficient amplification. I am interested in upgrading my amplification from Sonic Frontiers Control-1,
to an amp with more power. I really like Sonic Frontiers sound and i have too little money to
'venture' out to find myself dissapointed and stuck.

My speakers are rated 88dB, and they are three way DIY

I am looking into the Sonic Frontiers Power 2 or Blue Circle BC2 monoblocks? I would possible use passive pre-amplification. Both are between 2 and 2.5K used. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

An amp change will not nececssarily solve your problem. Let the speakers burn is for some time, change around the placement. I assume you're doing that. Also try borrowing a good active preamp, it may be that the passive pre is contributing to the problem: amps always like to see a stable source with low impedance drive. A preamp might help.
