Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 SE - Matching Amps? Empty Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 SE - Matching Amps?

Post by hywong2005 Fri Jun 19, 2009 11:27 pm

Hi Folks,

I own a pair of the beautifully finished China made Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 SE speakers. Driven by a pair of vintage Denon POA 4400A monoblocks and a Promitheus TVC, they sound very good. But as an audiophile would know, I am often exploring to get an even better performance. Perhaps owners of these speakers could share their experiences with other solid state and tube amplifiers.

Thanks in advance.

Simon sold the speakers to me. The nice guy would probably recommend some of the Chinese amps he stocks. After all business is business. Razz

The 2 equipment are probably from Promitheus because of the distinct design but what are they? Putting the TVC and 2 more audio equipment between the source and the amps seem a bit over the top.

To me, the above picture is a buffer stage -active tube pre-amp.
The left is the active pre-stage with output transformer. and on the right is the power supply stage for the active pre-stage. The power supply is isolated , good design. Pls correct me if am wrong.
