Wow. Out of steam?? I have heard the Ja80s driving Wilson Sashas and even MBL 101E. They were wonderful and I had no complaints about the power they were producing. I was very surprised that they complimented the MBLs so well. I'm sure the JA120 will be even better!

My JA80's were great with Wilsons, used on Sophias and WP7's so no suprise to hear they work well on the Sasha. If I were to use Jadis on MBL I would look higher than the JA80, think 200 and up.

Some very informative information here. Thank you. I was a little concerned that SF's lush midrange + tube's midrange would be too much of a good thing. But sounds like they are quite suitable for each other, very interesting.

Unfortunately I have no amp! Only the cd player. My acutus bearing is in the uk being upgraded and should be back within a week but without an amp it doesn't really help! Hopefully within 2 months the daRTzeel should be here
