how much tube power for eclipse ?

I used to own the avalon eclipse and with your budget I suggest you sell the speakers and add your grand to that, split the total and and buy speakers and an amp- the avalons only sound good with first rate electronics in front of them. I have a feeling you will never really enjoy the speakers with an amp like the Rogue(with all due respect of course), synergy and balance in a system are VERY important to an enjoyable system. But if you are going to keep your speakers I would suggest solid state something with as much current as possible- a large Rotel or something similar.

Sean- Opinionated, me??? :) perhaps. I was a little over the top earlier, how ever I do think the sunfire may work better then the aforementioned Rotel. The problem with lower wattage tube amps is you will lose sound stage, imaging, and low end extension(which that speaker ain't to good at, so don't lose any of it) but will gain some body and texture- to me(having gone through the same thing) the benefits don't out weigh the short comings of lower wattage tube amps. Again this is just my opinion some like it, some leave it- its up to you to make a decision.
