Thank you for all of your responses. At these prices I am more than willing to buy new, and it looks like I will be from Brooklyn Audio here on AudiogoN.
This is my first foray into tubes. My office system will be just about polar opposite from my home system: Active ATCs and an SCD-1 to Wave 8s and Loth-X Ion 1s (crossoverless speaker, 94db) and a turntable.
8 watts will be more than enough with these very efficient speakers, especially conssidering I won't be needing much volume.
I am looking forward to experimenting with tubes and all the fun that goes with owning tube amps, as these will be my first!
I'm glad to know also that the covers come off, because I plan on these being conversation pieces as well as audio equipment.
