Re: ASL Leyla 845 vs Orchid modified for 45s

Hi,

I'm not Jack G, so you may as well disregard my comments. I am quite familar with the Beauhorns though and if your room is not huge the 45's will have enough power. I also have some views on the 845, mostly that I don't much care for their sound. I like the 45 a lot, if the power is sufficent the 45 or a 10 would still be my recommendation.

One more word on Wright Sound vs. ASL. The Driver stages in either Amp are not really anything I'd favour, but given the choice came down to only these two options I'd suggest the Wright's, as they will IMHO purely based on circuit details give better transparency. Also, if you MUST get an ASL Amp, please consider the Tulip over the Orchid, as it uses a Valve Rectifier and one less stage in the driver Circuit.

Again purely considering the design, circuit and valves used you may want to consider the Wavelength Gemini but also (given you are in France) asking JC Verdier for a 45 (or 45/2A3 convertible) Version of his "Triode Spirit" 2A3 Amp. Lastly, the Sun Audio SV-2A3 can also be quite easily converted to use 45's.

But all of these are only my personal views.
