Tube amp for Nola Metro ref Gold

Hi
I am thinking of buying some Nola Metro ref gold and i was wondering if a triode tube amp could fit with these speakers.
For example an Ayon Odin wich is 50w

Any ideas ? I often read that Nolas work fine with arc or mac but not so many feedbacks with other tubes amps

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for your feedbacks,

VAC amps look very good. For sure with KT88, no problem i would have enough power but with triodes it's more difficult.

No one tried some Ayon amps...Odin, Vulcan, Helios ?
The Nolas with the musicality of triodes should sound great but if one needs 200w per channel to drive the Metros, it would be to high for the tiodes.

Cheers

Hi
I am back !

The Metros arrived few months ago and i've just added a Zanden 3000 with a Luxman M800a.
The sound is beautifull with perfect dynamic and bass precision.

I would suggest to anyone looking for a tube amp with its Nola to try a couple Tube preamp with a Class A power amp.

I've tried some KT88, 6C33 and AA62B but none of them did what a Zanden/Luxman can do.

My 2 cents !
