Quote:Hi,
I am considering the SE84CKC for my small music room as I think it would be a good amp for my setup. I would be driving it with an Artemis Lab LA-1 tube pre-amp that uses a pair of 6922 tubes. I mostly listen to vinyl on my VPI Classic 2 and the Artemis Labs PH-1 tube phone amp. I have Dail Ikon 6 (old model) speakers at 6 ohms, 91.5 efficiency. I currently have 2 amps: tube Jolida 502P @ 60w ultralinear and ss Odyssey Stratos Monos @ 180w. I also have all equipment powered through a BPT BP-1.
I know you can't give me an exact "fit" analysis. I would also consider buying two SE84CKC to run as monoblocks if needed. Please advise as I'd like to hear from you. I do so much prefer buying American, hand made products.
Thank You for your time,
Marty
Hi Martin,
The speakers are a good fit for the amp if you don't expect to play them loud. Reaching a typical listening level with proper weight and dynamics would not be a problem, however get much higher than that probably would be.
I would recommend getting a single amp. Based on the results of that 30 day trial, we can determine if a second one is really needed or not.
Thanks,
