I spent my teens with my brothers L100's and later with a set of my own. They were party monsters with 100 wpc solid state Pioneer amps. Great speakers for that but no need for tubes IMO because finesse and detail isn't in their vocabulary anyway. The new 2018 L100's may be a different story.
I am TORN between Tube power amp and SS power amp.
I planned on running my Hagerman Clarinet with either my Hafler DH-500 (looking at "Ultimate" Audiophile Upgrade sold on Ebay at $975.00 - complete upgrade from power caps, driver boards to Exicon MOSFETs, which has "rave reviews") or building DIY VTA ST-120 which will cost a bit more. Does anyone had an experience on both of these amps? I know comparing tube and SS is like comparing apples and oranges, but hoping your feedback may help me decide. Cheers!
