Raidho speaker owners which amplier have you tried?

Hi all,
The consensus seems to be Raidhos like fast solid state or digital amps, namely Soluution, Avik, Naim, and Constellation.  Wondering if anyone tried the new .8 series Pass amps (class A or AB), Gryphon,  T+A etc.

Hi ricred1, 
Which model of the Absolare amplifier are you referring to? I've heard their hybrid integrated,  push pull 845 and PSET 845 tube amplifiers

ricred1, I'm sure the Absolare sounds fantastic.  Haven't heard a negative comment about the sound of the Absolare components.

charles1dad,

I believe it was the Absolare 845 Push-Pull Amplifier with the Absolare preamp.

IMO tubes will sound good with Raidhos unless you push them. I had an Octave V110 when I had the D1's and later the D2's. The biggest drawback was when you pushed them the lows just fell apart.

That said I found the Ei KT90's for output tubes were great with Raidho's where as original TS 6550 solid black or grey plates sounded mushy. So depending which tubes you run will make a big difference.

Since then I have upgraded to the Aavik U300 and couldn't be happier.
