BOTTLEHEAD Stereomour II 2A3 Tube Integrated – NM – Superb
Maintaining a legacy of great soundIn 2000 we introduced the original Paramour 2A3 amp, an amp whose cost to performance ratio upset the natural order of Single Ended Triode amp manufacturing. Paramour evolved into the Stereomour stereo amp and now, fifteen years after the Paramour first arrived, we are proud to introduce the latest evolutionary step of one of the most popular kits in our history. Stereomour II is our latest high quality single ended, parallel feed, directly heated triode amplifier kit, a 3.5 watt per channel stereo integrated single ended 2A3 amp.
From the Bottlehead Forum – some thoughts….
“…….OK, with all that out of the way, what do I think of the Stereomour II? In a word, awesome. Ill spare everyone all the effusive prose usually dished out by the review publications (sorry, but I cant even attempt to read the 6 moons dribble as feels like forced labor) but will say this: if you are someone that has cycled through a bunch of HiFi equipment looking for that magical something you know is missing, you MUST listen to a direct heated, single ended triode amp specifically the Stereomour.
Are the lows mushy? Not at all.
Are the highs attenuated (aka tubey)? Nope.
Are the mids overly romantic (aka, lack precision in texture and soundstage placement). No way.
So what is it, bright and forward?? Neither.
This is, paradoxically, the least precise and yet most accurate description I can come up with: it just sounds REAL. And, no description will be able to truly convey the experience of actually listening to this amp. The soundstage is FAR more 3 dimensional and bigger than any other amp/speaker combo I have ever heard. The edges of images sound REAL. The placement of instruments in the stage sound REAL. The tones and textures of instruments sound like they are in the room with you, and not a recording. I know people say that with all other sorts of equipment, but I have owned and listened extensively to all other sorts of equipment, and while nice, none compare to this.
As for volume (this is for all you people sitting on the fence and not ordering because youre unsure about those 3.5 watts) the Stereomour II is shockingly powerful for the stated wattage. With my Omens, it sounds slightly MORE powerful than my 25 watt Aleph”.
Built as a kit 2.3 years ago. In near mint condition. Up to $1500.00 direct from the makers in the USA.
3.5 watts per channel – so need at least 90db speakers. The more the better. My 93.5 db Omega Compact Alnico Monitors are also available on request. Through these, the Bottlehead sounds amazing.
