Tube Amp for Klipsch Forte IV's? Black Ice F-22 or Willsenton R8 with upgraded tubes?

I can get the Black Ice for around 2700.00 CAD and the Willsenton for 2000.00 CAD

The Willsenton would include three upgraded Psvane pre amp tubes (the other two are stock) and four upgraded powertubes, Psvane PH's

F22 shows 50w per channel, Wilsenton 40w ultra liner and 25w triode

I may also pair the amp with a Sonus Faber Lumina V also which is 50w recommended min

thanks in advance for any input

How about a Coincident Dynamo 34se mk III ? It is an integrated using EL-34's in a single ended topology . Only 8 watts but they should be healthy watts and hundreds of dollars less than the two others. Although I don't know about the other speakers . The Forte's are listed at 99db. eff. but are generally accepted to be closer to @96db . Just a thought . Good luck & be safe .

I thought that it was pretty strong ! I was giving it serious consideration . And Decware treated me the same...I believe that they may have a rude awakening when that list gets filled ! Keep us posted as to what you wind-up doing . Good luck & be safe .
