Small size tube amps...any recommendations??


I'd like to know if there are triode or whatever amps out there that use skinny power tubes the size of a pinkie....that don't use bigger EL34 or 6550 size tubes.

I have relatively efficient speakers...Soliloquy 5.3 ...90dB...reportedly will play with as few as 8 watts.

A long time ago I heard a small amp with small-diameter power tubes and it sounded very nice - but I needed gobs of power then for my DQ 10's.

Please recommend some to check out.

Many thanks!

Mesa made an integrated amp called the Tigris which used EL84's and EAR made an excellent amp using just small signal tubes, quite a few of them - can't recall which type. Both got good reviews. Marco is right about finding a good EL34 based amp.
