Hi honeyooi, I have both ATE2 and ATC2 the ATE2 is find phonostage that can work as pre amp as well but I need the few more inputs so I'm keeping both. Thanks
So far my current amps drive them best ever Paul. They are AirTight ATM3 monos , ATC2, ATE-2 with ATH3 full set up. I love them. They can drive them any speakers with full flavour of tube and SS slam in to it.
As per SS , The LFD NCSE MKII was the best I ever heard.
Hi Jason, Very good question....The Harbeth has a better mid range and the O/96 was more dynamic however my choice would be the Harbeth for desert speakers. :)
Jeff, Thanks you for compliment. In regards to best speakers...I would say the Harbeth M40.1 is my top 3 all time favorite. No 1 is Tannoy Westminster :)
HI Honeyyooi , I used the EAR868 in my system and it was little too mushy to my ears. The ATC2 sounds more detail with more punch to it but without losing any tube sweet sounds. I would highly recommend it especially with AirTight amps .
