Hi all,
I had just placed an order for the Rockport Atria before the 2021 price hike. I was hoping that I could get some consensus about one of the 2 options that I could potentially acquire:
1) Soulution 511- solid state, high class A 140W. Only heard Soulution once. Clean and fast sounding. Swap deal with my VAC linestage.
2) VAC 200IQ stereo - triode class A1 tube poweramp 100w can be bridged to 200w. Ballsy tube amplification and had several auditions with Kharma (similar characteristics to the Rockies).
Rockport says a 100w tube amplification is sufficient to drive the amplification but heart says to keep the VAC.
Appreciate some insights/thoughts and opinions.
