Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's

I use a Cary SLI 80 and I love it. I also have the Gallo SA. Together I feel they have enough juice to let the Gallo's open up. With great imaging and tight bass.

I had played with the Dared 300B on mine.... not nough power to do a real good job so I went back to my SMC/MacCormack DNA 0.5 Platinum (but a fun afternoon of listening).

Try the Quicksilver V4 120 watt mono-blocks. You can find them used in your price range. Even at their new list price, they are almost unbeatable. They sound terrific with the Gallo's

To Jeffreybehr: The NAD S200 is rated at 225 wpc into 8 ohms and 450 wpc into 4 ohms. It is a member of the Silver Series, NAD's first foray into high-end audio, which never caught on.

Eastern Electric M520 has a review on 6moons with the Gallo REF3s. Very nice match for little investment. I bought mine new on audiogon from Bill (Eastern Electric distributer) for less than 1600.00. Great amp with switchable feedback levels, pentode or UL modes switchable on the fly utilizing el34s in a class a push pull mode. I think there are 2 that are selling used for around 1000.00 right now on audiogon. I use mine with Abbys, but replaced the EF86s with E80Fs for better noise level.
