TheEAR Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Today I was listening to a system built around a JAS Audio Array 2.1 single ended tube amp.I wonder if any of you tube philes have anything to say or any experience with this amp? I am asking since the system sounded fantastic,transparent,open and detailed.The speakers used were JAS Audio Orsa(Model mid-bass/ribbon tweeter). Best overall sound I heard in a good while. Anyone has any JAS Audio tube amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I know nothing about this amp. But I do have a question. Could "The Ear" be a reincarnated version of "The Craig" (since both need a spell-checker)? []. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Very clever Neo,your spell checker prowess is well known. With all the tube people on this forum nobody heard JAS tube amps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 45 watts of SET power for a MSRP of $3600 Cdn. Now here's one that the Parrot could love. The only vendors I saw in a Google was there in Canada EAR. Is this a new line of amps from Hong Kong? There are several reviews of the speakers, not the amp.

TheEAR Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 This is one bargain I will not pass up,I am ordering one. [] I cannot wait to try it with my RF7's,and who knows maybe buy a fresh pair of brand spanking new Klipsch Horns to go with it. Finally I jumped on the tube wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'm intrigued by this integrated SET amp... a combination of 300B and 805 tubes (are they both output tubes, or is one driving the other?), plus dual mono design, pure Class A circuitry, point to point wiring, an ALPS potentiometer, Solen caps, etc. So, it's your very first vacuum tube amp of any kind? By the looks of it and its design, I doubt you'll be disappointed at all, and IMO should sound fantastic with your RF-7s (and maybe new Klipschorns too)! Definately more power than you'll need with Klipsch. You gotta give us a review once you get it home and broke in for awhile.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterernieels Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Guys, I have both JAS 2.1 pairing with the pre-amp Array 1.1 (2A3 tubes) and the Orsa. There is seldom so-called Hi-end system that beat my system (most that are able to beat my JAS are something in the price range 0.3M US$). I have not switched to anything or have used it for over 10 years and never complained. My only advice is you must get the Array 1.1. It's two different world with the pre-amp.

Schu Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Is this a veiled sales pitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
