Upgrading my SET amplifiers?

I am very happy with my Wright Sound 3.5/Lamhorn/Lowther EX 4 combo, but I know that the amps can be improved. I was looking for a Berning Siegfried, but nobody wants to sell this amp used and new is not longer available. I’ve read good things about Art Audio, Wavelength, Exemplar and the like, but I want to know from people who actually own those amplifiers or other very good SET amplifiers. I am willing to spend $ 3,000 / 4,000 in this upgrade. If possible, I prefer to buy used. Your help is greatly appreciated. Pablo.

Hi Don:

I am glad you are enjoying the Magnepan. Answering your question, yes, I use a REL Stadium II and, to me ears, the integration is great.

Faugusta:

I have to try the Korneff, for sure. Right now I got a very good opportunity to buy a highly modified Golden Tube 300b SE at a very appealing price. The monoblocks are coming in a couple of weeks. I'll keep everybody posted on how they compare to my beloved Wrights. Pablo.

Hello Pablo:

What frequency are you crossing over at between the sub and the Lams?

I recently visited the RL Acoustique website. Robert has not updated it in 4 years!? It is the same as when I visited in 2002. I was looking out of curiousity for the new speaker you had mentioned he was developing.

Sincerely,

Don

Hi Don:

Currently I have the crossover at 35, but, over the years, and with different material, I've moved the frequency from 28 to 35. Regards, Pablo.

I own a Sanei 2A3 SET with all Tango transformers. Price second-hand about $1500. Made in Japan. Excellent sound and a good match with Lowthers! Some of the best SET's have been MIJ! I'd take any of them over a ModWright!

My mistake! I'd take any of them (MIJ SET amps) over Wright Sound?
