Zero feedback and class A,which is better?


hi I am in the market for a integrated amp I have a pair of Martin Logan Aerius speakers(non biwire type)What is more important to quality sound,class A amps or zerofeedback amps?Is there any amps out there that do both? I know that Simaudio is zero feedback and class A for the first 5 watts which just confuses me cause I don't think with logans i will ever use such a small amount of power,How do tube amps figure in this equation? cayin has a ss amp that is pure Class A, so far I am leaning to buy this Cayin 265ai amp,any advise thanks,Nick

Happynick, Ralph speaks the truth here. I own Logan ascent i speakers and have used more than a few amps with these speakers both solid state and tube. I recently purchased a pair of the original atma-sphere MA-1 mono blocks used. I use them with the Speltz zero autoformers. The ascent i drops to 1.2ohms at 20kHz. These amps sound fantastic with these speakers, the only thing I could see myself changing these amps out for would be newer atma-spheres. You may want to look at the 60 series atma-sphere amps also. Hope that helps.
