Best Amps for Martin Logans????


I am looking to upgrade on an amp and don't know which one would best match with my ML SL-3's. I've been reading up a little on amps such as Pass Labs X-150;X-250;
Krell FPB-c series; Jeff Rowland's and Plinius SA-102's.
Even thought of a monster size Krell KSA-300 (185 lbs.)
Many seem to favor the plinius SA-102's but their web site
recommend this amp to be used on speakers rated between 4
to 8 ohms and ML's are rated down to 1 ohm so I guess that
amp is out. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciate your responses.

A lot of people like tubes with ML speakers. I use Odyssey stratos Extreme monos which are a solid improvement over the Stratos mono. I do not think that B&K or the PS Audio work well with the larger MLs. However, with the woofer pulling the bottom end I think almost anything will work.

I also heard the EVo amp sound spectacular with the SL3.
Here's a vote for ARC. I horizontally bi-amped my Prodigy MLs with a pair of ARC VT100 Mk IIIs and now downshifted to the same set up with Aeons. Tubes and ESLs are magic.
I second what Dannylw and Edesilva said. When I got my Aeons, I looked at all kinds of amps, including the Parasound monos that have gotten rave reviews. They sounded nice, but when I hooked a Rogue 88 Magnum up to the Aeons they just bloomed beautifully. Stats are fast enough to overcome some of the traditional knocks against tubes, and I haven't lacked for bass at all in my system. Try some tubes; if you have the $$, the CJ Premier 140 looks like the bomb, and Sam, when he reviewed it in Stereophile 2 months ago, had it hooked to Quads.
VAC with ML sounds fantastic (I use VAC Renaissance 70/70 with ML CLS). I hope this helps...
