I will say Simao that the speakers you are using are not a difficult load for a amplifier to drive. The LSA is a amplifier that can put out over 800 watts of dynamic power into a less than 1 ohm load. You could drive electrostatic speakers with no problem with that LSA. I think if you are keeping the speakers you could then choose a lower watt more musical sounding Tube based integrated amp or seprates.Get ready to audition at least 3 or 4 amps. The LSA will be hard to beat...good luck in your search for audio nirvana! One more thing you could consider upgrading your statement or going up the LSA line...give them a call, I would.
Moving up from LSA Statement integrated
Hi!
The move isn't really necessary, but if I were to upgrade my amp from the LSA Statement integrated (150W) I have now, which direction would you recommend I go in the $4K range. And is that even possible?
I could stay with an integrated - used or new. I could start saving up for separates. The LSA has a tube pre-amp and a duel mono SS amp. It's quite good, but I'm kicking the tires as to what would be the next step.
I'm powering Reference 3A de Capo's and listen to a variety of jazz, folk, and vocal.
I once had the ARC VS-110 and liked it powering my MAggie 3.6's. Should I go back to a tube integrated, a la Rogue? Would that be a downgrade?
