I finally broke down and ordered my pair of Stradivari. :b
I am curious as to what you guys recommend for solid state amplification. From reading some of the posts here, I understand Strads can be difficult to drive properly. I love tubes and think I have that covered. For the times I want music playing and not worry so much about the tubes, what are some really nice solid state options? Thank you for your thoughts.
ps. I do have a Hegel H30 coming and I am Spectral curious.
Congrats Joe. Great speakers. When I had them, we used a variety of amps to play, including the Mc601, ARC Reference 610T, YBA monoblocks, Ayre and others. The McIntosh works well. Try the different taps. I can't remember which worked best, but there was a clear winner on the Mac. Overall the best sound for me was with the ARC 610T Reference. Great combination of power, smoothness, transparency etc. Truly one of the best amps I've heard.
Thought you had Dagostino amps?
Best,
Adrian
