Keep the Aragon SS for the bass. There are a ton of used moderately priced and powered tube amps that are very good. I wouldn't go to a true flea powered SET unless your absolutely certain it will work with your array of mids and tweets the way you like, they can sound very thin in the wrong set up. Don't be afraid to try a Chinese Push Pull EL34 amp for great midrange and good high end. but Be prepared to roll the tubes from Sovteks or stock Sino tubes to something better like JJs not expensive, they current production, don't fall for the reissues they are a Sovtek in disguise. The sweetest most musical highs come from EL84s but there are only a few amps that use them. Look under tube amps decide your budget and audition. Search Best of Forums here or Amps on Audio Asylum. Good luck.
what amp will mate well with my gear?
Hi all,
I am running a sonic frontiers sfl1 pre with MIT330 inter's with VMPS FF3SRE speakers with outboard cross-over,
I am currently using an Aragoon 4004MK11 for the bass, and an old Proton wich only gives me about 200watts for the mid and tweets, I think this amp is my weak link and would like to know any ideas of a replacement that doesnt cost a ton....tubes or SS although I never have had a tube amp I am curious of this option aswell, I am on a fixed income so please no exotic priced gear, just good solid performance that is financially obtainable...thanks
