Many different types of tube amps are available, many audiophile like single ended amps. These are most commonly lower powered amps 8-20 watts, these amps can really work well with efficeint speakers and bring wonderful midrange as well as low level information to light. Push pull designs will typically have more power and work well with less efficient speakers, but do not always have the detail of small set amps. I personally have a push pull design amp, I purchased it because it can drive most speakers. types of amps to consider would be Set, OTL, push pull designs as well as others. I own a Atma sphere amp, it is a OTL design, to me this amp sounds very neutral and gives a great sound stage, this amp works best with efficient speakers 8 ohms or greater. Possibly you can just borrow someone's amp who lives near you this would surely be the least expensive AB comparison.
Krell FPB Owner want to try Tube Amp or Integrated
I have a Krell FPB-300 and it seems where ever I go everyone is saying that this product is edgy and is a bright Amp, ( I think I need to compare )
I would like to audition a reasonable priced integraded or Tube-Amp, should be priced at the bottom of the top of the line Tube-Amps.
I know there is hundred of them, I'm looking for the best value for the $$$ with a Class A performance.
Can be european or north american
