Contrast/compare 50W tube amps


Any one familiar with these amps,or make recommendations on another.To be used with two speaker systems:Gallo 90db/9 ohms and Open Baffle 90db/6 ohms.THE CONTENDERS:
Quicksilver Triode monos(6c33c-b/50W)
DeHavilland GM-70s
Bat VK-75SE
Atma-Spere M-60 MKIIIs
Trancendant "The Beast" (I know they are 175/W)
I like the tube warmth,but need the extemsion/dynamics.Cabling will most likely be Omega Mikro.
Thanks for looking/responding in advance,Tom

I've not heard Atma-Sphere. I found the BAT to sound clean and accurate, but didn't hold my attention. I just couldn't get into the music. The DeHavilland has a beautiful, refined sound, but they are too polite for my tastes. The Quicksilver Triodes will both slam with rock, and sound sultry with jazz, or vocals. I think they would pair up well with your speakers. Don't get me wrong, the BAT and DeHavilland are very good. And as is always the case in this hobby, it's a matter of personal taste. I just felt more snap and life to the music with the Triodes.

Hope that helps. Good luck.
Many would be quite happy with the DeHavillands. But I could not get them to drive with the energy of the Quickies.
