arcam A19 + MA silver 6

[Mrcrazer]

Hello experts ,

I am newbie and learning . Have read few comment and ideas about this set . However , I really need the reality .

Is A19 strong enough for MA silver 6 ? if not which way to strengthen it ?

Or other bookself speakers ( in the money range with Silver 6 ) can play well with A19 ? I listen to vocal , light jazz , romantic songs .

Thanks all.

I don't see anything wrong with that combo, but investigate KEF LS50 too - but with good stands.

Disagree!

Arcam A18 isn't powerful enough for Kef LS50. They need more muscles for optimal performance.

Focal Aria 906 goes great with the A19 - used to own the pairing

@manicm : thanks for your advice . How the sound will be if Kef speaker is hooked by Arcam amp ?

The energetic LS50s would complement the somewhat laid back A19 well. And WHF recommend the pairing.

I would also prefer Focal Aria and MA Silver (more Silver2 than Silver 6) over the Kef LS50 with the A19.

On how loud you play but its not a large room and the ma are pretty efficient as well as the arcam i think 80w so you should be fine.

Although i am a great believer in higher power amplifiers for greater control.

 

[Mrcrazer]

I see the A19 power is 50W while MA Silver 6 requests 60-150W . Is that a concern ?

thanks all.

But if it were me id go for the a29 for about 300 bucks more. It sjould be fine though as long as you dont want party level volume but id also wait for another a19 owner to confirm as there are lots on here

As long as you like the sound with your own ears, it's not.

But it's only 4 stars on WHF. The A19 is 5 stars. *blum3*

The engineers were on tea break when they designed the a29

Listen to and buy a Marantz PM8005. Sounds much better than A19, A29 and A39.

With MA Silver 6 anyway.

And... you save! (Peter Tyson)

Have a nice day!

+1 for the A29

Anyway, is there any commment or experience on playing Arcam amp with KEF speakers such as R100 and R300 ? Please share your thoughts .

thanks.

I think while Flagship Arcams suit well to Kef Ref and Ls50 i found the rest of the line boring with speakers of the Kef R-Line.But thats only my opinion.

 

[obiwan kenobi]

Agree. i've heard the Kef R500 and the R300. Especially the R300 are very dull and boring sounding. But also the R500; no fun while listening.

I didn´t mean R-Series sound boring,just think they need more neutral and exciting/clean amps than Arcam not to sound boring.But depends also to room.In a cold minimalist furnished room it could be ok.

Dont worry they are not boring sounding. I feel they are good at bringing out the emotion of a vocal well.

I know how they can sound as I have a Pair of R900 my own...great speakers but not with Arcam imo...
