Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

about the amps...

Sorry, no I do not recall. I am not a good audiophile.

I can only say that they were auditioned during the last week in July, 2003 at:

Green Mountain Audio, Colorado Springs, CO. Roy was my kind host. He also showed me the factory. Fascinating. Not huge--maybe 3 people total.

Bolder Cables, Littleton, CO. Also a dealer for VMPS. Wayne was my kind host.

I do believe that both amps were SS. I am currently using (13 year old electronics) AVA Super Pas 3 & AVA T-3 Fet Valve 300i driving the Europa's with excellent results. It's such a huge step up in natural sound and clarity compared to older speakers I have used in my home (JBL studio monitors, B&W). Surprisingly, the Europa's are not bright to my hearing and CAN sound very warm if the warmth is in the recording or bright if the recording is bright. They take a gigantic break-in (200 hours of LOUD--don't even start to sound good until after 100-ish hours).

Thanks for reading.
