Having once owned these, and being a "tubee" I'd still suggest that these power hungry mini's perform best with disproportionally large amps, probably ss with lots of dampening power. Really, the bigger the better, I suspect.
SS or Tubes for Spendor S3/5?
I'm looking to upgrade a Rega Brio-R for my Spendor S3/5R speakers. I've searched the forum archives to no avail. There doesn't seem to be consensus on this.
Should I consider a decent push-pull tube amp of approximately the same power as the Brio R or an even more powerful SS amplifier?
