SonicSeeker Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Just purchased this to try with my LaScala's. Unfortunately I wont hear it for a month or two. Wont even see it until then. We are in the process of selling our home here in Colorado and moving to Dallas. I am having it delivered there, so I wont see it until we move. I am still excited though and wanted to share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I predict you are going to love it. I have the smaller sibling, the 518ia driving Forte IIIs. This is a great combo. Congrats on your purchase. Shakey) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkull Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 You ‘should’ love the amp. I own the 219, paired to cornwalls. Wonderful pairing. Changing tubes will also improve things. Change out the 12ax7’s off the bat, significant improvement. I personally have old smooth plate telefunkens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are closing on the sale of our house here in Colorado on the 12th of July and then we are on our way to Arlington Texas where the amp is sitting idle, the wait is driving me nuts. I was thinking Telefunkens would be my choice from past experience but I will listen for a while first to see which direction I want to take the sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubeHiFiNut Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I predict that you will love it! The better 845 SET amps are incredible sounding and, due to ther higher power output, have plenty of reserves to drive your La Scalas. I used the CazTech SET845 to drive La Scalas and now Belles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkwa1959 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I love my LM-219ia, the only downside is the heat from the large tubes.I picked up a limited edition LM-126ia and I also love the sound of it with my Klipschorns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicSeeker Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Finally in the new house, nightmare after nightmare but that is a story for another time. I finally hooked everything up today and am listening to my stereo again after 4 months without. Sounds great and feels even better. I am listening through my OPPO UDP-205 right now and will finish setting up my turntable tomorrow. I can't wait to spin some vinyl again! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Looks good. That VTI stuff is definitely nice. I used to have the lowboy rack, but now have the mapleshade samson. I do still have a VTI amp stand. Nicely done. Shakey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicSeeker Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 I really like it!, First time in a long time where everything I have played is at least "very" enjoyable, but for the most part everything is "outstanding". A little idol hum but could be the nasty power here in the city. A million air conditioners and ceiling fans running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 After a couple weeks of listening and getting used to the new system and house I find my music seems to be a little on the dark side. I would like a little more detail and clarity and I would like to tighten it up some. It is kind of like everything is inside the speaker a hair instead of out front and around. I installed the A-55G Midrange Driver and CT120, I also have updated AA crossovers from Dean, I have Tungsram 12AX7's Gold lion 300b's and SHUGUANG 845's It sounds quite good but in my never ending pursuit these are the things I would like to be better.
