Thanks for the responces! I have red a little about the original ARC integrated and it seems the reviewers feel it is good but with complex music it falls short. I don't know much about the newer one. I will check into it more. What about ARC seperates on the used market, any suggestions in that same price range for a pre and power?
Tube integrated for ProAc 2S
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a used pair of proac 2Ss. These are my fourth pair of proacs along with a number of other speakers in the search for audio nervana. I think these might just be the ones for me. I am interested in hearing what suggestions people have for a tube integrated amp. I am leaning toward a VAC Avatar, but have been warned about reliability problems with these. I listen to all kinds of music, Jazz, a little Clasical, Rock, Fusion, etc. I do tend to lean toward a more romantic sound but it must be able to drive more powerfull and complex music as well. I want it all as you all know. The Avatar sounds like the best choice at this point with the ability to switch from triode to pentode, but who knows, not me, I have to buy and try as there are no real dealers near by. Any suggestions are welcome! I am interested in the sub $3000.00 price range used and whould prefer the $2000.00 range used!
Thanks for reading!
