...the bass was quicker, tauter, deeper to at least in part to the higher damper factor. The RM10 retained (indeed, increased) its tube
midrange magic and treble sweetness...otherwise, what would be the point? I've tried bigger solid state amps with my Maggies, and while some things such as dynamics and bass were indeed better, the all-important midrange was not. Most affordable solid state amps I've heard with my MMG's sound competent, but not inspiring. The RM10 inspires, especially now that the ZEROs allow me light load it. I might add, I've tried light loading before...I had 8 ohm Epos ES11's that I ran off the 4 ohm taps. The effect with the ZERO's & MMG's is a whole 'nother league.
I think what's really going on here is that the ZERO's allow the amp to act more a voltage source, less as a current source. ANY amp likes that better. Theoretically, I should be experiencing a slight drop in volume. Maybe I do...if I do, the salutary effects of the Zeros are such that I'm not noticing it.
