Why get rid of the ARC 250SE amps? Any change is a sideways move at best! They certainly have enough volts and current to drive the Wilson's very well! I think you have become neurotically obsessed with the idea of a "different" sound! Stick with what you have!
Please recommend a powerful tube amplifier
Folks-
I have Audio Research 250SE (~200 watts) monoblocks and my new speakers are Wilson Audio Sasha DAWs. I like the "ARC tube amplifiers to Wilson Sasha speakers" sound and the power is important. Please help me - what about Doshi Audio monoblocks, other Audio Research tube amplifiers, VAC, VTL, Balanced Audio Technology, Jadis, McIntosh, etcetera? All relevant recommendations are most welcome.

- I am not interested in solid state power amplifiers;
- I am interested in monoblocks;
- I would like a minimum of >140 watts per monoblock (or channel for single chasis) to drive the Wilson Sasha DAW speakers.
