Amp suggestions for Avalon Radian HC

I tried all sorts of audio research with my ascent ii.
CL120, VT150, CL150, VT200, VT130 with and without mods. While they can drive full range with no clipping they sounded pretty unmusical. Not even close to acceptable compared against TRL s100 mono.

Hello Carey,
I live in Anchorage. Been up here for 21 years now.
I moved up here from Denver.

Giving up already ? I had my ascents for many years before finally throwing in the towel. There are many great qualities of the Radian you will miss.

I'm mixed on weather or not I have the patients to build another system. I may be underpowered because at low volume they are very good indeed. I owned the Ascent Mk 2 in the past and loved them and wish many times that I would have kept them, but I had a different setup then. I know the Radians can sound awesome they blew me away at CES one year. They are very revealing of any system problems. My room is 18x20 with a huge 20 foot vaulted ceiling and opens up to the rest of the house behind me. So therefore I'm trying to fill a very large area. Do you think the MIT wire is necessary part of this equation. I still havent given up I may get them right before they sell.

Not a believer in cables ever except when I had Apogees with low low impedance.
INstead of spending thousands in cables try a pair of cheap high current mono SS amp for the bass and get the dude to drive both the ST100 and the SS amps.
$100 bucks spent tweaking caps and resistors beat $1000 cables IMO but let the flaming begin.
