Hi Everyone. Im on a short listing of the above preferred monoblock amps to drive my Avantagarde TrioXD with Sub 231. The room size is around 5 x 6.5 meters with other gears nagra HD preamp , nagra HD DAC X , AURENDER W20 , Kronos Turntable and DS Audio Grand Master cartridge , Emm Labs Phono EQ and all Jorma Prime and Statement cables.
Your suggestions , experience , and recommendations are highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Sorry I am late to the party here... the reason, obviously, why no one has responded is that no one has compared this gear in the same system.

I have only heard these amps at shows. They are all great! You don't want to leave the room and just stay and listen.

My advice is simple: buy the cheapest one! I think this would be the Jadis 845s, which are like $30K or so.

The others are definitely different, but not necessarily better. But without comparing you will never know, and you may not want to know, as Air Tight are about 3 times the price of the spectacular Jadis 845s.

I just purchased the MasterSound PF100’s, 120 watt monoblocks of 845 tube output (4 845’s per amp). Parallel SET topology. Couldn’t be happier. Matched it with the MasterSound Spettro preamp. Highly recommended.

All great amplifiers. I would buy the one that sounds best to me.
