......is dem choices, e.g. ProAc always used to dem their speakers with high-end Audio Research valve amps, but more recently seem to have shifted to Sugden.
but get up to the real high-end and there is huge difference in the amp you’d choose to partner with......
Yes, was acquainted with A.R.C. and ProAc but wasn't aware that they now use s/s class A rather than valves. Agree that synergistic matching demands more research as one climbs the hifi (cost) ladder.
Not exactly relevant, but it was ProAc speakers (R3 to be exact) which the late John Michell used to test-drive the prototype of his Orbe. Mind you, he machined some parts for ProAc, who were just over the yard, as it were, so probably driven by convenience and cost.
