I sold my Magnepan 3.6s which needed gobs of power to move to high efficiency speakers so that I could try low wattage tube amps. The advise I read on Gon was to start with inexpensive models and move up. That is exactly what I did. I sold my SS amps for $3,600 and started with a $500 tube amp. It lasted a day and it was back up for sale at what I paid for it. When it sold, I was out the shipping cost. Then I moved to the $1,000 - $1,500 range and have never left there. Someday I might but I began tube rolling and am having too much fun to want to move to a higher level amp.
The best advice I got was to jump in and begin trying stuff and then reselling what doesn't work in your system. Start low and move up. Read up but the fun part is getting it in and trying it out.
