I have used a 30 watt tube amp, but it only worked in a small room. In a larger room, the 30 watter would run out of gas and clip when I cranked it up. I found that the 60 watt Quicksilver Mono's worked great. I have also used an AMC CVT 2100as, which runs around 6-700 new, but you will need a preamp with this.
40 watt tube integrated enough for vandy 2's?
does the jolida 202 have enough power to match the low sensitivity of the 2ce's? Does the fact that it is a tube amp give it somewhat of an upper hand when it comes to it's numerical shortcommings in terms of power? I want tube, but don't want to spend more than 600-700 (for used). Is the 303 (50wpc...i think) a better way to go?
