seti Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I use luxman mq60 but he best I've heard was when a friend brought over 4 George Wright 2a3 set monoblocks. Absolutely superb. Haven't done otl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) In the search bar of Ebay punch in: 'class a tube' very educational, iv purchased two from a guy called "Primamp" out of hongkong, yes they are imported, but remember these Chinese are smart cookies, they have taken Fisher, Marantz, Macintosh, and others and reproduced them. I have bought them and will continue to buy them. I will stand these amps up to anything anyone has American made or otherwise. From my dealing with this guy in hongkong, it seems there is a boatload of class a freaks over there also, so the equipment needs to be top notch, because you know over there they shoot each other when pizzed off........just my two cents. P.S. the Ebay deals are indeed killer, but its the dam shipping that's the pisser. Edited February 2, 2014 by minermark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Morbius Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think you would change your tune if you could hear side by side a "reconditioned" H.H. Scott, McIntosh and Marantz against any of the Chinese amps. I've looked into the differences between sound and spec's of the transformers and found the Chinese amps lacking. Especially the projected soundstage and presence. Imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bracurrie Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I just connected my ampsandsound.com stereo 15 to my jub clone cabs and I am very pleased with the results. Of course I am active so I am using a different amp on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxx Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm picking up a pair of Jubilee's on Saturday. My plan is to bi-amp them using a McIntosh 275 tube amp and a McIntosh MC 2105 ss amp. I hope that this works out well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Try using one amp first just to see how it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Contact Cask for expert help. Jubs seem to take a lot of trial and error to sort out in the room and he has the experience. Once they are dialed in get ready for lots of concerts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornman Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Congrats on the Jub purchase, I suspected it would not be long before you tried the Koolaid,, My system is active with 300b pushins the Tads on top & a Crown k2 for the bass bins. Would love to hear your passive xover. I have tried several amps & have been happy with the 300's, I bet the 275 willl sound good also, I had a new Mc 275 mk6 in the loop for a while. Cask is for sure the most knowledgeable & experienced in our area, but if you would like to chat would love to hear from you. Good luck my friend, your in for a real treat- stay thirsty & keep the platters spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
