Tenor 75Wp monos & Amati Homage


Hi,
I'm interested in your opinion about this combination.I have hear so much good about this amp, would it suit my Amati's which are 92db/ 4 ohm recommended... possibly bit much for this amp, rest of my system ARC Ref2 mkII, VPI HR-X and Aesthetics Io signature phono.At this moment driving it with ARC VT100 mkIII it is good combo, but wonder if Tenor would bring more magic?

Andski - I spoke to an audio buddy last night who was using an ARC VT100 to drive his 88db speakers. He recently changed amps to a 70 watt per channel Berning ZH270 and told me that even at a lower power rating, these amps sound MUCH more powerful than the ARC -- better in every way.

Like the Tenors, the Berning is an OTL design so I suspect the 92db of the Amati's would be an okay load with the 75w Tenor.
no,i allready used amati and tenor 75,(but not in the same system).
tenor can drive amati,but you can not get the magic and soul of tenors.amati really needs mouch more power and control.(also its 4 ohm and not very stable impedance)
my suggestion is .you should try new hybrid tenor for amatis
andrew...i had tenor 75 wi with my piega p-10 speakers that are 89bd and a 4ohm load.the tenors' were not able to drive the p-10s' to my satisfaction and i bought a goldmund 29m amp which is the best amp i have ever heard and effortlessly drives the p-10s' now.i do not believe you will find a better amp,imo.i have not heard the new hybrid tenors which are supposed to be great,however, i would not change for anything now.if you can audition a 29m you won't want anything else.
