ASL Explorer 805 DE/JM Lab Alto Utopia combo????


I am considering the Antique Sound Lab Explorer 805 DE 50 wpc tube amps as a second/just playing around set of power amps for my JM Lab Alto Utopias. They are currently driven by McIntosh 501's and I want to give the tube thing a whirl. I chose the ASL amps because of their price. Any comments regarding this combo are welcome.

I'm not sure your problem would be strictly power, but that impedance dip is likely to diminish the bass performance of the SET. That speaker would seem to need SS or a powerful tube amp with current. Nothing wrong with the amp, just not an ideal match with your speaker IMHO.
