Did you ever get a chance to hear the Quicksilver Mid Monos (40w, 50% Triode)? |

I use 2 QS M60 Mono blocks to power the Midrange panels on my Triamped Magnapan MGIIIa and a pair of QS Mini monos to power the Ribbon Tweeters (2 ohm)on them as well as the minis have a 2 ohm tap.
They have been in play for quite a while with updated Aragon 4004 MkII SS amps driving the Bass Panels and the NHT W2 Subwoofers. They are the end game for me. Wonderful amps. Regards, Jim

Hi Jim,
interesting. I think you might be the fourth person to share with me using QS amps to bi-amp or try-amp electrostats or panels. Seems like a great use of QS amps. Sounds like good fun. And yet another benefit of running capable separates. A local audiophile near me is putting his big Quicksilver V4s up for sale, downsizing situation required, and he used those to power large Magnepan 3.6Rs with great enjoyment for years and very complimentary of the synergy and sound. I'm using my my QS mono 120s for my custom built main speakers which are a combination of electrostatic air motion mid-tweeters paired with dual nomex mid woofers. The tube power with dual KT150s per amp with the large transformers is almost on the edge of overkill since I listen at low volume mostly. I can run the bias at the low-end of the scale, tubes run cooler, it drops the sound stage back a bit which yields more of a triode type of sound which was a nice and unexpected surprise. I'm really starting to appreciate the adjustable bias as a benefit. Achieving "the end game" is enviable. Good for you. Congratulations! ... Last edited by decooney; 12-31-2019 at 11:31 PM. |

Would love to hear the QS Linestage preamplifier in front of my QS Mono 120 tube maps. I re-used my Cary SLP-98 tube preamp with 6SN7s from a prior system. It sounds real nice paired up with the QS amps. A buddy has the QS remote version preamp, but also read the non-remote version sounds better... hope to test one some day but it comes only in Silver i guess...! All my gear is black. Only the remote version QS preamp comes in Black i guess... |

If you decide you you need to go with the QS preamp let me know. May have an opening in my system for an SLP-98 and don't care about color.

Thx. Am in no hurry as the little Elekit TU-8500 punches well above its weight and is really a delight piece. Especially for the $$.
