Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

Room size

I run Sonus Faber Cremona floorstanders, not the M. They may be 1 or 2 db more efficient than your Amator's which I believe are standmounted.

I used to drive mine with VAC PA160 monoblocs which could run with 6550, KT88 or EL34/6CA7. I used mostly the latter tubes in ultra linear and triode mode, output similar to the ARC 75SE. My listening room is 12' wide, 25' long and a peaked ceiling averaging 12' in height. Volume was more than adequate. My only point is it all depends on your room size. Unless you have a big pile in the country with a massive drawing room, you will be happy with the amplifier. I have had various ARC pieces over the years and they make a great product.

Not sure if you're in a flat, semi detached or countryside detached but under most conditions, you should be more than fine especially considering the use of a sub. I lived in a mansion block for six years off Ken High St and spent most of my time in the pub with my porter or going to see live music in town.
