jjss49 is correct, but I would add having owned them as well as Response 1's that these speakers may sound very good with medium power, but they really respond to higher power amps (ss) with a greater sense of ease. Of course you may sacrifice some of the charms of tube sound but you should experiment with both to see your preference.
Which amp to pair- Proac Tablette 10 speakers
Recently purchased Proac Tablette 10 speakers. Curious which amp to pair with to get a warm, full bodied and detailed sound. Or should I be looking at an integrated? Tubes or class A?
My older ears are appreciating more warmth and detail without the glare, and when punch is needed to present it self with grace and emotion. I love my Metrum DAC for that reason.
Set up is for my home office 8ft x 14ft (mostly windows on all sides). Source will be a dedicated Roon laptop with TIDAL subscription, using a Metrum Jade NOS DAC/pre. I listen to all genre of music from Folk, Classic Rock, Jazz, Blues to Pop and Electronic. Space is a an issue - the amp will sit on a shelf 13 inches deep. I am inclining towards a class A amp like the Schiit Aegir or Rega Brio (too bright) as I don't want to break my bank and keep it under $1K used. Thoughts?
