Tubed amps for WP7s


I just wanted to get an idea of the kind of tubed amplification used to drive WP7s -- both SET and push-pull. I know the Lamm ML2.1s are on the top of the list. What are the other WP7 owners using?
Thanks.

The Audio Reseach 610's would be one of the last and only choice I would make as far as tubes go. Pushes the speaker to its limits
The 610 are a new beast with less tubes. New architecture allows it to be convectionally cooled but fans are still an option. An amp I chose instead of the 610's was a Dartzeel. Excellent dynamics and musicality. Though its SS its better sound than the tubes without the all the bullshit that tubes give
I may have missed a thread. Have you listened to the 7's with the Dartzeel. If so you have a valid point. My experiences with the 7's were that they needed power to get the bass right. The bass and dynamics of Wilson's speaker is their strong point and without the power I thought they were lifeless. I have not heard the Lamm's with the 7's either so I may be wrong.
