You will not hear real tube sound from a hybrid.This is my opinion,others will probably disagree and that's fine by me.
Hybrid vs. Straight Tubes
I am serioulsy considering the purchase of a Jolida Hybrid Amplifier, most likely an integrated amp (tube-pre section with solid state power). The amp will be used to drive my Monitor Audio RS6s.
I am after tube sound and coloration.
The advantage of the hybrid amp is the added power at a reasonable cost.
My question is, will I be trading off the tube qualities for added power? And, is the added power even needed to drive my speakers?
Which would be preferable a 40 watt tube amp, or a 100 watt hybrid?
PS: For more details regarding my system, please see my post in virtual systems.
Thanks!
