Adding a tube amp is a good idea?

And I moved from the PS Audio hybrid BHK 250 to an all-tube Zesto Bia 120 ( now replaced by the even more powerful Bia 200). I liked the BHK 250 very much - it is obviously a very good amp. But the Zesto changed everything. Suddenly it felt like the music was being piped straight to the right side of my brain. The creative, arty side. The BHK had better bass - deeper, a little more controlled. But everything else was in favor of the all-tube, Class A Zesto. No regrets in the two years since I made the change.

@lucky_doggg7 ​​​​​thanks for taking time posting your response. Jeff Joseph thinks that the amp would sound pretty good. He demos the speakers using Dosh tube amp with smiliar power. I also heard the previous version of the speakers with EAR V12 integrated tube amp and that output 50w, sounded planty loud for my listening level. Yes there are many other choices, but I always had desire to own AR gear. Pass was the same way. Hopefully those two amps provide me with different sound for enjoyment 

I certainly hope so because I’m about to build a little 6L6 tube amp for my 95db speakers. I’ve driven them with small Pass DIY Class A SS amps. They have such a sweet sound, but now I want to hear what tubes do. I’m told 6L6 tubes are particularly clear. It’s fun to play with such different gear.

@jfuquay  Curious. What amp kit do you have and what speakers?

You kinda have to go out and hear some of the candidate amps.  Tube amps vary in sound MUCH more than do solid state amps.  I am a tube amp fan, but, I find that a lot of high powered tube amps sound brittle and unpleasant on the top end.  This has been the case with some, but not all Audio Research amps, so at the fery least, listen to some tube amps.  Also, consider not going the high powered route; a lot of people starting out with high powered tube amps amps end up buying more modest 40 or lower watt per channel tube amp.

You have a nice linestage so I know you are looking for a power amp, but, you should listen to something like the Synthesis Audio A100 tube integrated amp (it has a very good built in DAC too).  The company makes power amps too, but they might be a bit high in price.  My local dealer has a lot of customers switching to A100’s (100 watts per channel) or its baby brother the A40 from some pretty exotic solid state amps (e.g., D’Agostino, Pass Labs) and tube amps (e.g., top end Jadis).
