USHER BE-20 + Spectron Musician III MK2


Hi,
I have Usher BE-20 and looking for a new power amp./ pre-amp., any suggestion?
I did search in the forum and found a recommendation on Spectron Musician III MK2 and Joule-Electra LA-300ME. If I go with both(don't have a chance to audition both at home), what do you think?
My source is EMM Labs DCC2.
Thanks in advance for any comment.

Lamm M1.2 were nice, Audio Research 210 better, ASR Emitter Exclusive 2 even better ;-)
We have mixed and matched a number of different pre,s and power amps with our demo BE-20'S. One suggestion would be using single or 2 bridged Usher R-1.5,s power amps, along with the new Audio Space Ref 2S pre amp This combo provided wonderful mids along with great bass control...

Natty,
I am currently using a BAT 51SE preamp and a VAC Phi 110 stereo amp on my Be-20's and love it. Great sound, huge sound stage and all the other audiophile words apply, great combo IMHO.

John
Hi Natty,

My speakers are Watt/Puppy 8 - still I own Spectron monoblocks and for a few months, I am in waiting list for Joule-Electra "300" preamp. I been told today that in a few days it will be shipped and I will post my impressions.

BAT VK52SE or better REX (not 51 with solid state power supplies) are also good preamps but at $250 per tube with need for re-tubing every year or two (6-10 tubes?) - can't be even compared with "300" where you need to re-tube every 10 years or so and cost of full retubing with NOS tubes is....$210. Nothing can beat it. Sorry.
