Multichannel tube amp recommendation please

Butler has a 3 channel tube amp...anyone have any experience with this in HT setup?

I might consider 3 channels of tubes across the front, but not the rears. Absolute tonality is often different behind head/ears/sides anyway. And there's usually not as much consistent info anyway. The front mains are the most important part of the soundstage anyway. I'd just use a stereo tube amp for L/R and maybe a mono or bridged for center. That's me. However, would be nice if some company would make at least a 3 channel tube amp of quality. I've some horn speakers I'd like to go "tube'n" with for HT personally.

Take a look at the hybrids. Blue Circle is a good place to look. Might move outside the budget. Is there a reason to go tubes on the rear??

Hey .... did you get your 3.5's yet??

Hi Dave, Never heard of Butler. Looked at their web site. Sure is a lot of power for the money for tubes. The only thought I have is perhaps mono blocks. Could be expensive to maintain 5 channles of tubes, especialy if pushed in typical HT fashion.
