Warmest? BAT VK200, Classe CA200, Mccormack .5



If someone was looking for the warmest
full bodied, least fatigueing sound which
would you choose. I have Martin Logans.

I've got a McCormack DNA-0.5 Rev. A and I would categorize it as incredibly neutral. If the material is warm and lush it comes through that way and if it's etched and bright you get that too. Given that, I'm not sure it would provide you with what you're looking for. Don't have any concrete info. on the others. Best of luck.

go for tube amps if you can as they will give more ''body'' to the martin-logans. or a tube pre with a solid state power amp.
good luck !
My Classe CA-200 was somewhat warm and smooth with solid punch but not lacking detail. It was a nice match for my Thiel speakers. I currently use Conrad-Johnson tube power amp and ARC tube preamp but the Classe was very good and had better bass slam (being solid-state).
I have the aerius i, matched with the Bat vk200. After a long journey of auditions I choose the Bat hands down, over the classe, mccormick, signature, meridan, audiomat, plinuis and many others. And with the 3i pre, the surenergy is out of this world. Imo. Pete
I don't know what gear you currently use... But... The sound you seek can easily be had by placing a single run of Cardas Golden Cross between your existing preamp and amp.

Give that a try before you buy any amp - I think you will like the results and you'll save some dough.

If you still really, really want a new amplifier... Try something from Electrocompaniet. I know it's not on your list but...it should be.
