FWIW, for my 85db / 4 ohm / large room / blues & rock, I went with big tubes. If you prefer solid state, great, but ASL and Rogue and one or two others have got significant tube wattage at a fair price as an option if that is also of interest.
Need some juice --- High power amps
I am looking for a high power amplifier to drive my 87db / 4 ohm speakers. I am interested in any real experience in comparing the following solid state amplifiers:
o Edge NL-12
o conrad johnson Premier 350
o Pass X-250.5
o Ayre V-1xe
o McCormack DNA-500
I understand the price differential, what I am most interested in is the musicality of the five amps as well as any other amps that should be considered in this company.
FYI, an Audio Aero Capitole Mk II SE will be feeding the amplifier directly.
Thanks for your help and time.....
