Replace my Berning ZH-270?

Hi,

I have a Joule LA150 MkII preamp and a Dave Berning ZH-270 running into a pair of Merlin VSM Mx speakers.

Could I poll some views on a theoretical question: if I were to keep my preamp, what power amps do you think I should consider to pair with my LA150? Or are there any members here who have done this move and if so what amps did you buy and why??

All the best,

MontyW

I can go higher in price - what I like is; fast, open, transparent, with tight bass and soundstage.

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies. Oneprof and Nkj - I do like my Berning, but have been toying with the idea of a change; you know how it is always looking for something 'better'!

If I could build upon the Berning signature sound with a little more 'richness' without it becoming warm, then I think I would have my ideal amp.

Monoblocking a 270 sounds like a great idea, but you rarely see 270's for sale.

I will search for the thread by SBank and have look to see what he found from Atmasphere amps.

Cheers,

Monty
