morg Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 I currently have a SS system consisting of Sim Audio I-5 Moon 70 wpc integrated amp, AH Njoe 4000 tube cdp, Klipsch Forte II's and 2 M&K V125 12" subs. I have heard so much about tube amps sounding great with Klipsch i would like to try an integrated tube amp. Any suggestions in the $1500 range for new or used would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Phare Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Lots of people like the Decware Zen amps ( wish I was in the position to buy a pair ) http://www.decware.com You can shop around for a Dynaco ST 70, a friend of mine has Forte's and a ST-70 and loves the combination. I have a old Scott LK-48 you can have for cheap- it's in nice shape though I would recommend a retube, let me know if your interested. ------------------ Just who is Dylan's Jokerman anyways?

Colin Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Negatory! I think you can do better than Dec. Since you have such nice equipment so far, I would look for something more subtle for your big old horns. Since I like the sound that horns make when powered by tubes, I would look at the small crop of low cost tube integrated amps, for which ASL and Jolida come to mind. Check out the Antique Sound Lab MG-SI15DT Single Ended Integrated Tube Amplifier at: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_1/antique-sound-lab-15dt-tube-amp-1-2001.html. The editor said "But, view it this way. The 15DT is an entry level tube product, at an entry level price, but is Class A and single-ended, which are two characteristics that tubophiles love. It's a bargain." Of course people like Bottlehead, Wright Sound and Wellborne make offerings of pre-amps to go with their amps - mobile mentioned a Conrad-Johnson unit in another post that would also be worth looking into ... ------------------ Cornwalls & Klipsch subs; leather couch & feet up; lights out & tubes glowing!
