Tube / SS amp that handles 4ohm loads well and delivers lively texture / palpability
For Triangle signature theta speakers. Real 90db(measured - most manufacturers would claim 94db) Minimum impedance 4.4ohm amp or integrated. Low volume listening. I would drive an amp with a dac with included class A Ss preamp.
triangles have very sharp high frequencies (horn loaded tweeter) and need a very warm fullbodied amp with texture that manages to be still lively and fast and open.
that screams tube amp but in am concerned about bass performance an coherence as rock solid timing is my goal no.1 and full body my goal no.2
I thought about el34 amps like lm211ia or class a amps like densen or valvet, class b like LFD. Small and light gainclones would be nice as well if they can deliver the performance.
These Clayton Audio Class-A monoblocs will do the job. They can be used in Class A or A/B mode to save energy during non-critical listening. Best of luck.
