I am a very happy owner of a Musical Fidelity Nuvista Power 300, Chord Electronics Blu/QDB76, Sonus Faber Electa Amator II, Tannoy ST100 Super Tweeter HiFi system all wired with Townshend Audio DCT cables and interconnects. I just added a Musica Fidelity X-AS100 power amplifier so I have Bi-Amplified my Electa Amator II's, the NuVista on the bass and X-AS100 on the treble. I have noticed a surprising increase in bass definition, however on some tracks I am getting a more forward high frequency balance, the highs sounding less defined and more present. I have read that valves and transistors a not a good match because of response, damping factor and gain matching. Would a valve based power amplifier for the treble smooth out the forward balance, which valve amplifiers would you recommend to match the NuVista? Regards David Make It Funky Now! |
My experience: You need two identical amps. nt, posted on March 30, 2015 at 08:40:35 | |

I believe the volume changes will be proportional.
