Audio Artistry Beethovens


I have just received my new Beethovens. Searching the archives I have seen notes that AA is out of buisiness, This is wrong. They still makes and sells all the line Vivaldi,Dvoraks,Beethoven etc. Audio Artistry speakers are just wonderfull! Im intrested in what amps other Beethoven users use?

First of all, congrats on your new speakers!

Did you e-mail me with your amplifier question some time back? Around that time I lost my e-mail files, and I don't think I ever replied to you. My apologies.

I'm not an Audio Artistry owner, just a fan - but I was in Siegfried's home several months ago and as I recall he was using several fairly low powered (maybe 50-watt ballpark)solid state amps. I think he was tri-amplifying or maybe even quad-amplifying. He may well have built the amps himself, but they were not at all big & beefy.

Personally, I'd have liked a touch of tube warmth, but that's just me. The dynamics were incredible with the amps he had.

I know this doesn't give you many specifics, but hopefully it's better than nothing.

Best of luck to you!

I was under the impression that Sigfried had severed his ties with AA several years ago.
I have heard the Beethovens with custom double-stacked subs tri-amplified with BEL solid state amps. A truley amazing combo. Happy listening. Erik

Yes Siegfried has severed his ties with AA, but he still owns a pair of Beethovens.
