I can recomend Gryphon Callisto 2100. This amplifier is fantastic and very musical with lot of authority.
Which Amp for ML Ascent i?
Greetings!
I just bought the Martin Logan Ascent i. Which amp would you choose from this list:
1. Ayre V5x
2. Plinius SA 102 Mk IV
3. PS Audio Classic 250
4. McIntosh MC 402 (Replaces the MC 352 and sounds just like it.)
5. Theta Dreadnaught II (Two channel configuration)
6. Classe Audio CA 301
My preamp is the Klyne System 7 and my CD player is the Musical Fidelity NuVista 3D. The Klyne is solid state and is voiced like a Conrad-Johnson tubed preamp. The NuVista has an analog-like quality.
I am looking for a smooth, glare free sound on classical and jazz music CDs. I don't want to spend more than $5,100, the price of the McIntosh MC 402. I don't need gobs of power; 120 watts into 8 ohms and 200 into 4 ohms seems to be enough.
Thanks for your help.
