Falcar Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Please recommend a good solid state pre-amp and amp for two La Scala IIs. Something that allows two subwoofers. No pro audio recommendations please. Thank you. Edited August 30, 2019 by Falcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'm glad to see you didn't stay away. Since you have obviously spent some good money for your current speakers, what kind of budget are you looking at for electronics? Mostly music, or will this expand into a theater system?

Bruce I haven’t purchased La Scala IIs yet. I’m just trying to get a general idea of a good pre-amp and amp if I decide to purchase the La Scalas in the future. It will probably be for 2-channel music only, but with two subwoofers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Sorry I may have missed it in the last few days, but where are you located, and have you heard the LS IIs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running a pair with a single Palladium sub. Preamp is a McIntosh C2500 and the amp is a B&K Reference 200.2. Sources are a Oppo Sonica Streamer/DAC, VPI Scoutmaster w/ Benz Ruby and a Denon DVD2900 for SACD. I was going to "upgrade" the amp but for heaven's sake I have found the absolute finest combination that's ever been in my home and I'm not touching a thing. I've had some pretty nice gear over the years but this is it. We're now happily married... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
