Budget Tube Amp (newbie)


I'm new to tube amps. I need some advice as to a good budget tube amp with good bass that will push my large Advent speakers. Please keep in mind that I don't know anything about tube amps and don't want to pull the trigger until I can get some advice. I'm new to the Forum. Many thanks from an old guy.
Best regards,
Rob

Which Advent speakers do you have? Is there a reason you want a tube amp?  Many Advents aren't particularly efficient and take some watts to drive.  Just worried that you may not be able to achieve your sonic goals of good bass with a budget tube amp.

I have the Large Advents (circa 1975) rebuilt.


Actually those speakers may not be so tough to drive.  I think they are 8 ohm and about 88-89dB efficient.  What's your budget on the tube amp?

There's a Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated on the classifieds right now listed for $1175.  You could make an offer.  With 100 watts this will have zero issues giving you enough power.  No affiliation.
