I'm thinking of purchasing ARTsa amp but I'm not convinced 140w/ch would be enough to drive my speakers (Avalon Time). Has anyone perhaps heard this combination? I know ART's 275W/ch would be enough to drive Time but $37k...
I had a pair of Avalon Eclipses driven with a pair (also) of CJ Premier 8As, great combo.
Now..I am quite familiar with the Time, a friend down here drives them with TOTL MBL monoblocs, of course with no issues,. I drive my Ascents with an EAR 861 (35 clean class A watts per channel) and runs out of juice at some specific moments with also very specific material, 90% of the time I am more than happy.
Is your listening room a large one? What kind of music do you listen the most?
That could be the case Lloyd, Ascents a ruler-flat at 6 ohms, that helps!
