Most of the 801s I've seen work pretty well with tubes, although you need some power to make them go, but in that regard 100 watts seems like enough. We have several customers using 801s, mostly using our MA-1 amplifier. So that sounds like a pretty tube- friendly speaker to me.
Tube amp
Any thoughts on using a Tube amp with B&W 801`s. I am currently using a Mark Levinson 23.5 which I`m NOT looking to replace. I like the looks of Tubes and am considering purchasing one. Thoughts??
