......Antares 320 has landed.
After my short weekend trip to Logrono in Spain to see the Waterboys and to stock up on some Rioja, I spotted this amp yesterday, at a fantastic price. Always wanted to try one of Dr. Krons creations.
Well it has landed this afternoon. Came in a wooded crate and is a heavy mother******, and looks a bit like a motorcycle engine block.
Years ago I had a Cary SEI300XLS, updated that to take the KR 300 XLS Valve. I regret to this day that I have sold it.
The Antatres 320 sounds very similar on first listen on my sacrifical small and old sony speakers. I never connect any new amp to the main speakers. You never know.
It sounds like an amp using 300b Tubes on steroids. Incredible slam and dynamics. Only first impressions. The valves are the KR 842VHD and are located at the front inside the cooling tower.
So here we go.......... Plenty of Martinez Bujanda 2003 Crianza, a great gig in Spain and a new power amp. The new year is of to a flyer.
