Reference 3a Dulcet with Solid State Amp?


Would the Dulcet (or De Capo) be synergistic with solid state amplification or is Reference 3a voiced for/with tubes? I own a Naim Nait5i and CD5i.

I had a pair of Dulcets for about 1.5 years and found that they actually sounded better with solid state amps than the other Reference 3A speakers. The Dulcets take a lot more juice to get to a decent volume level than the more efficient MM de Capo i's. Just be careful how much power you throw into them as they are quite small.
Any of the Reference 3A's (voiced for tube or solid state) can sound great with very high quality solid state.

Good Luck,
