    The Next Step

    in Talkin' Tubes

    Posted

    I currently have a nice moderately high end home theater (Monitor Audio Gold speakers, Marantz 8802A Processor, 2 15" subs, about 5000 watts total), and a 500wpc solid state two channel system than I am considering dismantling.

     

    My initial thought was to go McIntosh on a tube pre-amp and a MC275 for power.

    I have had a Jolida 202A for a long time (12-15 years).  It has gone in and out of service, I have re-tubed it twice.  I recently did the last retuning and swapped the speakers to a set of Herasey's I got a good deal on.  The combination of these changes have brought this system alive.  I now have 100+ hours and know it has improvement still coming.  This system is in my office at work. I use it during the day.

     

    As a result of this success I am considering putting a two channel tube based system at the house.  I really want to ramp this system up.  I don't have room for LaScallias or K-Horns. The system will be based on Cornwalls or a second set of Heraseys.   Give this constraint, what would be considered for pre amp and  Amplifiers?  Source will be LP's CD's and iPod.

     

    thanks in advance.
