If I was you I’d strongly consider Atmasphere’s GaN amp (no affiliation with the company BTW). You’ll get a lot of the tube sound with solid state bass control and none of the tube hassle, heat, or expense. I think you can even do a trial period with them, which would seem to be a no brainer to me. Put a good tube pre in front of it and that could be a magical combo. That’s what I’d do anyway FWIW. Best of luck.
Tubes and less sensitive speakers
I love the sound of tube amps but I use Maggie 3.7's. I have tried an 45 watt tube amp and while I loved the clarity of midrange, I missed the low end slam, even with a sub. Is there a tube amp out there that matches well with Magnepans? I am using the Hegel H360 and a friend recommended Coda high current amps but I still am thinking tubes.

I thought I heard Atmasphere amps can work well with Maggies but could be wrong. Worth checking or maybe @atmasphere can chime in. |
