I've been researching different amps to use with my Omega Hemptones (MkII drivers). They're 96db 8" hemp single driver x-overless speakers. I have they currently paired with a Cary SLI-80. The sound is a bit mushed, flat, etc. So I'm looking into either SET or SEP amps.
My listening room is 21x12x8. The speakers face down the long way. I listen about 7.5 feet away. Typical music is acoustical, female vocals, jazz. I usually listen after the kids go to sleep, so I'm not blasting the music. There are occasions the wife and kids want to dance, so in goes the Village People (or whatever) and they dance. I'm looking for a good sense of PRaT, depth, soundstaging, and my feet are tapping.
I listen to 80% vinyl (Sota Sapphire>Graham 1.5t>AES PH-1 phono amp).
Would the Taboo be "too much"? Do I need the ex version of the SE84c? How is the CSP2 paired with either?
I've been leaning towards a Fi X (with 2A3 and/or 45) and a TVC preamp.
Thanks-
