Look for a used Mesa Baron for less than $2K and have your cake and eat it too with 150wpc.I am in opposite direction problem wise.My Mesa was great for a pair of 89db monitors but now I have 93 db efficiency so am tempted to go to SET's.But too much headroom just means using less of the volume control and I may want a pair of 3.5/3.6's or other speakers that want current and am therefore loathe to get rid of amp.Maddening little hobby eh what?
100w tube vs ss for Mag 3.6s
Newcomer to high end question.
I have a pair of new Maggie 3.6s -- my dealer wants me to match them with Cary Audio products that will drive them with about 100 watts of tube power. Would I be better off to use a 200 watt solid state amp like the ARC 100.2? My listening room is large (24' x 33' w 13' ceiling).
