Thanks everyone for your input. I ended up buying a pair of used Manley 440/200 monoblocks running a pair of Maggie 1.6 QR's. I'm happy to say that I may have made the right decision. I highly recommend considering tubes for HT!
Tubes for HT?
What do you folks think about using tube monoblock amps for HT (amplification specifically for the 3 front chanels, L/C/R)? I've been thinking of swapping my Musical Fidelity M250 Monoblocks with a tube amp. I'm kinda yearning for the sweet, warm sound of tubes. I'm not familiar with tubes being used for HT, so I'm a little concerned about clipping (power output), heat, realibility etc. I'm guessing you folks know where I'm coming from on this one... Call it a dual purpose system, if there is such a thing.
I Spoke to Kevin @ Upscale Audio and he recommends the Prologue 6 Monoblocks (@70 watts). He said that the Prologue 6 will do great in a dual purpose Music and HT set-up. Have you folks had any experience using Prima Luna in a HT environment?
I would love to hear what you guys think.
Thanks
