Has any one tried the Music Reference RM-10?

I run a tweaked mark 1 RM10 in a bi amp setup with Rhythmik servo dipole subs crossed at 80Hz. I have not made any direct comparisons with other power amps for the old Quads but the RM10 provides a very natural midrange and treble, even with its unconventional voltage settings for the EL84s. I would guess that more powerful amps would deliver more bass if run full range.

By your moniker I guess you are a fan of these tubes so the RM10 is well worth checking out. As you may already know Roger designed these amps on old Quads and gets 35 watts out of them. He also offers a 25 watt version, presumably with a richer bias.

  Thank you for your reply-
  I am very familiar with the history/development of the RM-10, and I finally picked one up last year-ish-
  I also picked up a pair of '57s perhaps two years ago-
  For a variety of reasons, I have not gotten the two together- but that is my plan...
  I also have a single heathkit amp that needs restoration (a UA-1), but time has not been on my side...for completing the project...
  and Yes, I like the little pentode - my first tube amp was an HH Scott integrated - 299- I think - but it blew a big resistor, and toasted the PT - I did not think to save it for the OPTs...that was a LONG time ago...
  Happy Listening
