You can definitely use Shindo/Audio Note amps with O'96s. Obviously they would work better with Avante Garde or other 100+db speakers BUT don't let anybody tell you they simply wont work well. The West Coast Shindo dealer has the O'96's as one of his Demo speakers to be used with the Shindo amps. I have the O96's and a Audio Note Jinro....have had Shindo La FonGM70 Mono blocks previously.
Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96
I am looking to upgrade (and simultaneously downsize) from Coincident Frankenstein Mk2 300b SET monoblock amps to one of these stereo amplifiers.
These are the four candidates so far: Nagra 300p, Luxman MQ-300, Wavac EC-300B, Air Tight ATM-300R, Shindo Cortese 300b
My preamp/dac is Bricasti M12 and my speakers are Devore O/96.
I am not looking nor interested in any other 300b amps at this point.
If anyone has compared one or more of these amps (esp on an Orangutan) do chime in.
Where I live I can probably demo the Nagra and the Air Tight but nothing else.
Thoughts?
