torpedo Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Looking for a new amp to power my 30 year old Cornwall 2s. A couple of years back I purchased a Rogue Chronus Magnum amp. At first the new sound was great, but after a few weeks of listening, the speakers developed an annoying hiss that has gotten worse. The noise was audible throughout the music tracks and were very very pronounced between trans on supposedly dead quiet Mobile Fidelity recordings. It's been to painful listened to the system so I've decided to sell or trade the Rogue amp and I want the next purchase to be a good one. I thinking of going back to SS for new amplification as my tube experience hasn't been a good one Any suggestions for a new amp? My original amp powering the Cornwalls was a Yamaha, it was a good listing combination till the Yamaha finally quit after a long life. I'm very fond of the Cornwalls and their sound. I purchased them after I met Paul Klipsch at an audio function he spoke at. Before the Cornwall were shipped to me, Paul personally inspected them and signed off on the labels affixed to the back of the cabinets. I've love the speakers ever since and want to get back to listening to them. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am not a super audio tech person, I just enjoy great sound, Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Torpedo. Welcome to the forum. Are you looking for an integrated amp? If so let me suggest an Anthem 225 integrated. These amps are known for their very low noise floor. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-anthem-integrated-225-2017-03-23-integrateds-97212-portland-or--2 Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
