I own a Butler 2250 and am driving a pair or Ariel 7Bs. The 7Bs are somewhat hard to drive but the Butler seems to have no problem doing so. I listen to my system at 95db to 100db often without issue. I'm not sure you could call the Butler a tube sounding amp in the true since of the word, but I would call it slightly on the warm side. Good luck and keep us posted.
Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,,
I have a pair of Consequence Dynaudio, mk 2. They work well with my s-state 2x600 watts amp and sounds great esp at large volume levels. But I want to switch to tubes, and even triode if possible. Is good tube amplification unrealistic with these 83 db sensitivity speakers? I am probably not the only one with somewhat "difficult" speakers so all advice is welcome.
