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??

That's interesting because your speakers are identical to mine. I'm not a loud music listener. Occasionally, very occasionally I may turn it up a bit but I don't think I've ever pushed my Levinson much over half tilt. To my music sounds best at modest volumes and not where my ears bleed lol. That's where considering some of the cheaper Chinese stuff comes in to play. If I have a 60wpc amp, but am only listening at a few watts, how will it perform. Do you use a tube pre as well or ss? Thanks for your input as well. I'm going to look into as options.
@Mrdecibel, First off to answer your question, I love how my system sounds and I'm very happy with it but I'm sideways looking for ways to improve. I guess I always like to mix things up a bit being the fact I love the hobby and like to play. I never considered biamping for a couple reasons. I really don't know much about it. Also, I'm sure the cost would be pretty substantial. My preamp has on two balanced outputs for left and right. There is one for center as well but wouldn't use that. How would I bring signal to a second amp? I'd have to purchase another set of interconnects, speaker cables which I'd think would have to match? What a suggestion for a second amp for bi-amping. I have a Levinson 23.5 which puts out 200wpc. Would that be used to power low frequency or high? How much power would the second amp have to be?
