I have a pair of avalon eclipse rated 86 db what would be the minimum power requirement tube amp for these not a huge room I dont need to crank it. what about set amps ? any suggested amps I am on a budget under a grand thanks
Used Rogue M120 monos will be the best budget tube match for them. There is no SET under 1k that can drive your speakers for sure. Also try VTL MB100 used.
Tim, you're probably underrating Rogue that has a transformer tolerable to large impedance swings as well as VTL. It's just simply not with the same class with Avalons but can play them for sure. Later-on magnum upgrade can be done. If it can drive Thiel 3.6 than Avalons I think is easier.
