Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

KR Audio VA350i

Its a SET but not mono and it will produce a true 25 watts with < 1% distortion and it sounds simply fantastic!!

Do NOT be fooled by the people here who will tell you it can't work or it won't work well. If the SET is a good one it will work and sound better than they knew Maggies could sound.

I have driven very difficult speakers with the KR and it has great bass to boot.

The other amp worth considering is the NAT SE1. A friend of mine has 6 NAT monoblocks driving his Apogee Grand speakers (yes the biggest baddest of all Apogees). He has 2 pairs of NAT SE2SE and 1 pair of NAT SE1. Before he got all the monos he has only a single pair of the NAT SE2SE driving the Grand full-range with an external crossover (the built-in electronics were undergoing repair) and it drove the HELL out of the Grands!!! He also at the same time had the CAT JL-2, which sounded good BUT he preferred the NAT and sold the CAT.

You might be able to find the KR or the NAT used for under $5K.
