solid state preamp/amp for Martin Logan CLSII

[jkcheng122]

i need some recommendations for solid state preamp/amp setup to push a pair of martin logan clsii's.

i'm currently using audio research sp-14 pre and cl-60 power amp.

the reason i'm considering solid state is due to the limited listening time tubed amps provide (rated at 2000 hours for the power amp) and high price to have the components retubed.

IMHO, with Plinius, you'll still have all the warmth of tube in addition to the control and reliability of SS (and a huge curent available). Have a look at my M8 review if you're interested. Regards.
