    Preamplifier Ensemble Virtuoso

    Greetings to all, I was offered this Ensemble preamp: it is the Virtuoso, a hybrid preamp no longer in production that uses a single tube and can also be used as a passive preamp.
    The aesthetics I like very much and the Swiss firm Ensemble has a good reputation. I have owned Ensemble Pa1 Reference loudspeakers myself for many years which I am very happy with.
    I wanted to know if anyone had got to hear it and your opinions.
    Thank you

    i meant the virtuoso pre with the ensemble amp, i don’t remember the model, it was also an hybrid.

    the whole system was ensemble, pa1 reference pre /power cables tube socks….
    it was several decades ago and i don’t remember the models name ….. the pa1 speaker was one of fav speaker of all times

    i owned pa1, reference gold , the subs ( they were very disappointing ) and the full size speaker which wasn’t as good as the reference
