Greetings from Malaysia.
I recently auditioned a pair of Vantage speakers and was suitably impressed. The amp used was a solid state Spectral 250 wpc steroblock, which I found to be very neutral, almost whitish. But it exerted great control over the panels.
Back home on the ranch, I have a pair of Conrad Johnson Premier 8As' putting out more than 220 watts per side (conservatively).
I was wondering if they would work well with the Vantage? I have no way of bringing in a pair of Vantage for auitioning in my listening room as they are not distributed where I live.
The pre amp is a Jadis JP 70 (also tubed).
The room is an odd shaped one measuring 17' x 12", with a high ceiling.
The conrads drove a pair of watt puppy 5.1's well in that room, and I was given to understand by the distributors that the impedence curve of the Vantage is less demanding of the Watt Puppy. Also, Vantage is actively amplified, and the conrad will end up driving the panels only.
But will it work?
With thanks in anticipation for your comments,
