there is a set of Yakov Aronov mono,s for sale,and some c-j 11a's, If I were try one of these, would it be fair to them to mix with my s.s. krell pre?
I might as well join the fun and start buying and selling things to try. But if it is the speakers I should switch first I'm doomed, because it seems like that would be a big hassle, and something best done via local sales.
Either way, I've got the bug to do something now, before golf season arrives.

Audio Research VT60 or go all the way to the VT100 you will not look back!

The Aronov mono amps should maximize the bass extension and full range articulate quality of your speakers. These amps are free of any listener fatigue, sounding very strong and dynamic coupled with natural midrange and treble. I don't know of any reason not to start with your present pre-amp, but the Aronov pre-amp will later on demonstrate the full Aronov potential. Unlikely that you would be restless to replace the Aronov line up. The quality of your speaker experience will be upgraded using such fine amplification. You now have have picked very high end amps, a far cry from your humble aspirations when you initiated this thread.

Listener57 your right, it seem whatever you would like to spend always goes up, but starting from the first few responses, it seemed like a waste what I wanted to do. I believe it was your response " Since tube amps do not all sound alike it is not so easy to extrapolate from the fine trial stage Anthem to your eventual tube "upgrade." " made a lot of sense to me. Now if I can control my urge to get something quick, there are soo many to choose from, but it makes more sense to stop looking for quick fixes and move forward with a little bit of a goal.I've made too many quick decisions in the past. Would it be wise to start an other thread looking for the sonic characters of different amps?
