First time post-long time reader,
I'm starting to upgrade sound one piece of equipment at a time.
I have Requests that are passively bi-amped. The bottom is powered
with a Carver M4.0T, and the panels with a B&K 200.2. They sound
better than when I used the B&K for both.
Lately I've been thinking about using tubes for the panels, and moving
the B&K to the bottom. I have absolutely NO experience with tube amps.
From what I have read here, you guys like tubes for the stats.
My question is what to look for to get started? Jolida seems to be fairly
priced used. Their 502 is 60 watts. Is that sufficient, or should I lean
towards the JD 1000? My listening room is 18x16x9.
I use the system 60% music/40% HT. Music is mostly contemporary
Jazz, lots of acoustical instruments, and female vocalists.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.:music:
