So I just started thinking about getting out of pure tube amplification and came across this group and product. Sorry if I'm a little slow on this group/manufacturer but I've been buried in tube only for a while now. I only just now started thinking about solid state or hybrid amplifiers as an option in the last couple of days, as I am really getting sick of only being able to have good sound after a good 45 minute warm up. I am really busy with work, so during the week its not really an option for me to listen to my system, and that sucks. Hybrid seems like a good go between, as with my thinking it seems that less tubes may mean faster warm up times? Anyway, my system consists of a Don Allen preamp, Symphonic Line Legato speakers, and a CEC CD Player. My tube amp is the weak link. Speakers are 89db 6ohm.
What I am looking for is opinions on AVM gear against gear I may have heard, and how it compares. Just to give you a reference...I heard very very expensive Boulder monoblocks that I thought were terrible about 5 years ago. I have yet to find a pure solid state amp that I like the sound of, so hybrid technology has my curiousity peaked. I am very wary of reviewers, so I thought I would go to the owners circle to get opinions.
Thanks
