Ingo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hi, Has anyone tried driving their 1Cis with a Decware Zen Triode low-watt tube amp? What was your experience? https://www.decware.com/newsite/homepage.html Cheers, Ingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmz Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I’d certainly recommend you demo it. You really won’t know otherwise. I have a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP (40W/ch in Triode and 70W/channel Ultra Linear), and I am not 100% sure. It sounds great on vocals etc, just rock type of music which needs some woofer movement, makes we wonder if I have enough power. (Again, I am not sure… Sometime it seems a bit thin, but when I crank the volume, then it seems OK. Whereas with the 100W/ch VTL monoblocks, I never noticed that. ) Do you have a subwoofer? If you did, then I suspect that that would certainly help. (I have a 2W sub I think, ~20 years ago I got it used.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 2 watts is pretty low. I bet they would play okay at low volume levels. Anything more would probably show their limitations. As @Holmz pointed out using a Vandy sub would definitely help. B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsooner Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Using the subs may help for sure as it relieves the amp from dealing g with 120hz south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
