Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps?


I am considering  buying an new LTA 40 Integrated amp. MSRP $7,650. 45 wpc.

I was considering the new ARC I-50 but now think this product may suit me better.

 

My speakers are Tannoy -94 Sensitivity and Fritz-87 Sensitivity. They both are fine

with my current Pass Labs INT25. 

The room is medium sized. I listen at quite low levels 60-70 db. Jazz & vocal mostly.

My thinking is that I will still get good detail but ad the warmth of tubes.

LTA gives a 14 day trial so I can a/b them with the Pass.

 

I checked the archives and nothing there of help.

 

Love to hear from any LTA fans.

I own the preamp and love it.  I've heard the amps at shows - they tend to run clean/lean if you are looking for a warm tube signature.  Possibly their ZOTL 40 with the EL34s would be the ticket - supposedly runs more of a tubey nature. Also their more powerful amp - the Fritz might be a little taxing for the amps.  They usually pair with high sensitivity speakers. Nicholas Tolson at LTA answers the email/phone there - he's pretty helpful and will steer you straight.
