I had to wait a couple of years to find one in France which was just "as new" (actually it was really NEW, from a hifi collector guy). Be patient et and the reward later will be even larger. |

I guess my point is the wattage isn't really the issue it's just not the best match for the Nines.

Thanks for the kind replies and I actually gonna buy a Monbrison old model which have been a little bit "upgraded" by Ken Shindo last year. I hopefully get it next week. I need to start with that and later on see which amp I´m gonna buy or if I´m gonna keep the Montille.
I´m really glad to hear the Cortese 8 watt works perfectly with the Nines. I suspect that the Nines can be driven by almost anything above 8 watt it just a matter of combination...
problem in europe is that I can´t test the equipment at home I have to but to test so I really listen to you all on this forum.
Cheers
Daniel
