I have the 5.1's, a Cat Ultimate and Transparent Ref cables. I had a VT 100mk2 and tried a ML 335 just for grins. The 335 trounced the ARC Amp. Your on the right track with a high powered amp as the Wilson's, regardless of what you might hear, like lots of juice. Before you go to the trouble of a big tube amp I suggest you at least try a 335 or 336.
What tube amp for watt/puppy V.1's
I am in the market for a tube amp to drive Wilson watt/puppy V.1's. I am currently using a Jadis Defy 7 MK4,
but would like more power. I am considering an Audio Research VT200 MK2. I have also noticed that higher power Jadis amps are selling on Audiogon at greatly reduced prices, such as the JA250 or JA400 (half of the JA800).My preamp is a CAT MK3. Any suggestions or opinions? Thanks
P.S. I am looking to spend around $10,000 to $12,000.
