@boxer12 I can imagine that being a fantastic paring. I considered Valvet for my Tekton speakers also. I recently reconsidered their latest monoblocks for another application. I'd love to hear more about your system. Hope you are open to sharing some additional information here. Thanks.
Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp
My favorite sound seems to come from an SET amp and single-driver speakers but I want to leave the amp on all the time and I have kids in the house so I decided to exclude output tubes. I went on a hunt for a solid state amp with an SET sound and landed on the First Watt SIT-1 monoblocks which I love. I'm using them with Omega Super Alnico High Output monitors and it's a great combo but I wonder how much better speakers like this can get with this amp. I have my eye on Voxativ, Teresonic, Audience, and maybe Audio Note or Daedalus. Any suggestions?

A couple of clarifications for those following the thread and the Cube Audio posts, specifically. The Cube Audio Bliss C was awarded a Blue Moon Award by 6Moons in Oct/2017. The Cube Audio Magus was released after the Bliss C and was not reviewed by 6Moons. There is an excellent review of the Magus by HiFi Knights here: http://hifiknights.com/reviews/speakers/cube-audio-magus/ The Cube Audio Nenuphar was awarded a Lunar Eclipse Award by 6Moons in 8/2018. It is Cube Audio’s latest driver / speaker. The drivers in each speaker are as follows: Bliss C > Fc8 Magus > F8 Nenuphar > F10 The Nenuphar is best suited for large rooms, the Magus for moderate sized rooms (per the Cube designer). |
