I suggest you give serious consideration to the Octave MRE 220 monos. I have them paired with my ARC Ref. 10. I wrote a review on AudioShark that can be easily Googled. In short, it is the best "of both-worlds" amp I have ever encountered: speed and precision of SS and the true-real of tubes. Output: 220W/4ohms. It can drive any speaker out of the box. However, you can get an external power supply (Black Box or Super Black Box) to remove any doubt and to enhance soundstage effects.
Would like your tube amp recommendation
I've got Magnepan 20.1s, PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium preamp, Accuphase P1000 SS amplifier, with digital source (Byrston BDP1/BDA1). It's a pretty sweet sound, but looking for something a little more musical with a larger sound stage.
I like the PrimaLuna preamp, and was wondering what to expect if I replace the Accuphase with PrimaLuna Prologue or Dialogue monoblocks. Would they drive the Maggies?
Thanks,
Richard
