Bejeezus!

Erm, yes please.

Not sure my back can take much more of this malarkey!

I bet it's back to solid state for you Mike. The pair of logans that I had only sounded any good with some serious current passing through them.

Sadly (?) that may well be the case... A nice valve pre-amp might help soothe the pain though.

[Mike]

Will valves be man enough for the job?

I'd like to think so Beechy... but I fear my pockets may not be deep enough for such 'hollow state' beasties that might be up to the job.

Mike,if you have an active pre,try using that to drive the Liang.See if that improves things,as the driver stage is underrun in this amp.When I get round to coming over with the 813,I could bring the MF A370 too,so you can see which is more suited,valves or sand.I think you will be quite shocked by the Audioromy though!

I hope so Ali.

But I've a feeling these things might need something more akin to an arc welder up em!

Mike i have a few spare amps you can try ...from mono blocks to a three channel amp....and quad 405 fully upgraded

ime, you dont need super wattage solid state to drive logans properly. they do need current and lots of it, but watts are a different matter. i drove my logans with a 35w valve amp and they sounded superb. you've got a great pair of speakers there, nice 1.

Indeed, hence my quip about 'arc welders'!

Shame I just sold my 35W valve amp then!

To be fair, I bought them with full knowledge that the panels could well be on their last legs, but at the price they we're going for I'd have been an idiot to turn them down. If I have to fork out for new ones I'll still have a cracking pair of 'static' hybrids for a very reasonable price, even if I end up paying Absolute Sounds' prices.

But did they have much loudness and dynamic capability AN? All the Logans I've heard have been terribly inefficient and I cant see 35w providing much in the way of headroom. ( Genuine question by the way - I'm not trying to wind you up or rubbish your experience)
