LSA VT-150


Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has experience with the LSA VT-150 tube amp?  I’m considering jumping on the tube bandwagon and was wondering would this be a good consideration?

FWIW - speaker wise I have a pair of Klipsch Forte 1s which I’ve just restored and a pair of B&W 805s. 
 

And before I forget, may I wish you all a Happy, Safe and prosperous New Year!

I've had a LSA VT-70 for about 6 months now and really enjoy it. It has performed flawlessly with a pair of Spendor 4/5 bookshelf speakers which are only 84 dB sensitive. It has no problem playing them well past my desired average listening level of around 85 dB.

I guess my question is, with your Forte's, which are 98 dB efficient, why are you going for the extra power of the VT-150?

OK, but even the VT-150 has its limits at 60 watts/channel if you like 90 or 100+ dB listening volumes and end up with inefficient speakers or some that are current hogs.  I'm old-school, but believe in settling on speakers before deciding on an amp. 

But, back to LSA tube amps, they are good. I like my VT-70 and wouldn't hesitate to buy any of their other units.
