Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"?

I was also interested in the Mullard CV2493/6922 I saw on Upscale Audio. Anyone ever use these or the Gold Lion 6922's in the EAR Acute?

Calvinj, I looked on Upscale Audio's site for those Siemen's tubes you are using with the Acute, but they have about 4 different ones in the 6922 / 6DJ8 / 7308. Which specific ones are you using and how much did they cost? Plan on giving Kevin Deal a call and talking things over, maybe ordering a pair of the ones you found success with. Thanks!

They were either 89$ or 99$ each.

Calvinj,

For the Siemen's tubes in the EAR Acute, is there any listening fatigue at all? Is there any warmth or is it straight neutral? Not looking for anything TOO clean or TOO analytical where it becomes bright. Trying to find a tube that is smooth from top to bottom but very detailed and airy but controlled as well. Is the Siemens a good fit? If so, will give Kevin a call for an order. Tough call between the Siemens vs. the Amperex 7308's. Thanks again for your insights.

I had the amperex and the high were not airy and the soundstage was smaller. The Siemens are clean but they don't cause listening fatigue. The soundstage was huge and they score well with me on the EAR Acute because they don't have glaring weaknesses. I had one of me close audio friends over this weekend and he hates anything that gives listening fatigue. It's a no no for him. He loved the sound and it wasn't too fatiguing to him. I'm the same way but he is that way even more than I am and he enjoyed it immensely. I would get the Siemens if I were you.
