Hello Jeremy,
I've owned my Frankenstein MK II since September 2009 and can state with
all sincerity that my joy and admiration for them has grown. My speakers
are 94 db sensitive and a14 ohm load, far less sensitivity than yours.
When I occasionally listen to rock or electric blues the sound is very
realistic, engagingly and propulsive(timing and musical pace are
exceptional). Sound levels are 95-100 db and the
presentation is without a sense of strain. This type of listening is relatively
rare for me but the point is the Frankenstein does this with 94 db speakers.
With your 101 db speaker I can't imagine that you'd have any problems,
and I assume the load of your speakers are relatively easy (?).
My genre is overwhelmingly acoustic jazz with typical listening levels of
75-83 db averaged out. With the appropriate speaker match I believe that
you will enjoy all music genres and not feel restricted in your choices.The
best compliment I can give this amplifier is it sounds superbly "natural" and
provides excellent realism. I haven't heard the Line Magnetic SET amplifiers
but reviews and word of mouth says they're really quite good.
IMHO I just don't believe that you could go wrong with either of these SET
amplifiers. One final suggestion, the Frankenstein definitely responses to
the higher quality level 300b tubes, the extra cost is worth it for the
superiorssound . I'd have to think that this would be the case for the Line
Magnetic amplifier as well.
Best of Luck,
Charles,
