I am just about to pull the trigger on a pair of of TSM MXs and wonder if any of the inmates have any strong views on amplification.As I live in the UK, I am basically buying the TSM MX unseenb and unheard but on the back of very strong endorsement from ears I trust.
Initially I will be using the TSMs with my Ayre AX-7 / CX-7 combo (Cardas Golden Refs I/Cs) and will also try out some other amps I have kicking around - Placette RVC / Air Tight ATM-4 (24 Watts - no powerhouse but very smooth and musical, if a bit on the warm side) and 47 Lab Gaincard (transparent, marginally cool, no powerhouse eitheR)- to look for synergies.
However, I am adamant and prepared to spend the cash to get the best out of the TSMs - I envisage keeping the Ayre CX-7 CDP as i think this does most things right and few things wrong - however, I am tempted to go tubular - possibly Manley - Stingray maybe ? and would really appreiate any other thoughts.
I hear that Joule is a good match but not available here in the UK and the lack of back-up service facilities is a bit worrying.
Budget is pretty open and again, really welcome any throughts.
