I had the Wright WPA 3.5's for a while. Great amps and especially for the price. I replaced them in my low powered system with a J. Korneff 45 which you can get used for about the same price as the WPA 3.5s'. I use RCA biplate 2A3's in the Korneff (gives more dynamics without losing very much over 45 tubes- although I do use TJ mesh plate 45's now and then for light jazz or vocals). I personaly prefer the Korneff to the Wrights. By the way I am driving Soliloquy SM2A3's (designed by Dennis Had of Cary specifically for SET amps)or my Rogers 15 ohm LS 3/5 speakers.
Wright WPA 3.5's What's Next?
I am the owner of these amps and was wondering if anyone has owned these and moved on to better things?Can anyone suggest an amp that they have preferred over these mono's for their efficient(Horn speakers 103db)system.Not looking to break the bank either i should add.I was going passive using the EVS nude attenuator and recently switched to the Eastern Electric Minimax active preamp.Am i barking up the wrong tree in thinking about moving on from these amps?i think i am trying to gain a bit more lushness PERHAPS.My system does sound really nice but was wondering just what might be the next step for me guys?My system is posted but i haven't added the Minimax to the list yet as i was still auditioning it and i think it is a keeper over going passive.
thanks!!
thanks!!
