hi and happy 2k14 for you and yours! health, happiness and good musical vibes!
i'm new here and got model 19 for about 2 months. i'm pretty sure they're the best i ever had (from various vintage kefs, rogers to vintage tannoys)
love that 15" groove. my small heathkits EL84 amps do wonders on them but i'm still searching the best SS match for them, that i could leave on all the time and play in and out.
i've already tried: small SMSL class T chip amp: amazingly good but needs beefier DC power, luxman M120A: ok but not very exciting, various vintage amps and receivers (sansui, kenwood), quad 303: bassy/muddy, crimson 620: actually ok but..., sugden A21: bassy/muddy (should bypass that bad preamp section)
a friend has great results with a vfet sony amp which is my next try but we know vfets won't last forever... all tips and advice are welcome
