Rogue M-150 mono blocks. A friend has a pair driving Vandersteen 2 Sigs. They run in 75 watts in triode and 150 in ultralinear. The Vandy's are not the most efficent speakers and the Rogues drive them effortlessly.
Tubed amp for Paradigm Studio 100V3s...??
Those of you who are in the know about tube amps, your suggestions are appreciated! I would like to make my first venture into tube amps. I have no specific complaints about my SS amps (Bryson 7BST momnoblocks, a little over 500 WPC, but there is plenty of headroom and when we rock, WE ROCK.) I would like to experience the magic so many talk of with tubes.
System and listening specs:
Pre: Modwright 9.0SE or CJ 16LS (Still trying to decide which one of these I like better)
Speakers: Paradigm Studio 100V3, 91 db sensitive
CD: Tubed Jolida 100 with level 1 mod
Interconnects: Tweeking between Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference II and Audience AU24s
Speaker Cable: Speltz anti-cable bi-wire (Good stuff!)
Room size: 25'x15'x9', open on one side
Listening pref: jazz, female/male singer/songwriters, world music at low to moderate levels, occasional solo rave when my wife is at book club
Bored with enough details? Thanks fellow Audiogoners!
