I would like to pair a tube preamp & a ss power amp with Paradigm Studio 100 v.4 speakers to create a detailed, yet musical sound without being overly warm. (I generally listen to jazz - both vocals & instrumentals). The Rogue Perseus tube preamp & the Rotel 1080 ss power amp that I auditioned seemed to move the sound in the direction that I liked.

Since I do not have any brand allegiance, are there other preamp/power amp combinations that you might recommend?

Thank you for your help.

Im Cabe Sipes and I did a google search on myself (gotta watch out for crazy stuff) and saw this thread. Kevin is correct that I have started a new home audio loudspeaker company. The prototypes were tested and I am VERY pleased with the results. I will be posting up some sneek pics within the next couple days but I will say one series holds dual 7 inch drivers and a 6 inch ribbon tweeter in an MTM configuration all handmade from fiberglass and will have automotive painted finish. Oh, did I mention they are wall mount and not floorstanding........

I have a pair of Sonus Faber Domus Grand Piano.
1. What system would you recommend me if I want it for listening to vocal (opera, rennaissance, Elizabethan) and baroque music?
2. I am considering the Krell KAV400i but it seems too much power for the 30-200 Wpc range of the SF speakers. Or not?
3. TAny tube amp?

Who here's going to be at CES? What are you most interested in seeing and hearing?

As usual, I'm hoping to find some new exciting small lightweight inexpensive wonderful little thing, whatever it may be.

Maybe Buddha's tweak will be the thing!

Hi,
I am hoping to get some advice on what new speakers to buy. my current setup is a Lenco L60 TT, Marantz 2270 receiver and B&W 202i speakers. These speakers don't sound bad to me but just kind of flat. What current speakers do you think would work well with the Marantz? I am hoping to spend no more than $500 for the pair.
Thanks for any thoughts,

Dan
