tubes or no tubes


ok, finally I am getting into higher performance...but now to cross or not to cross the tube bridge.

Sold my PMC TB2s, waiting on a pair of FB1s from a fellow Agon member and thinking of using a VTL ST 150. Go tubes or stick with my Bryston 3BST?

Just wondering about the sonic match to an easy speaker to drive (8ohm @ 90db)

Any thoughts...please? I think I know the answer, guess I am looking for the push...yes?

Nrchy, From you 4th paragraph I can tell which side of the acrimony you hail from! FWIW, despite the maintenance issues, and they do exist but not to the degree that you suggest, my tubes sound better on their average days than the best SS stuff ever does! Take that!!!!! :-)
Gelmhirst, If you haven't pulled the trigger yet - I'm in the process of breaking in a new Primaluna 5 amp. I have 92db speakers, 4ohm, and am I impressed. I'm using SED KT88's. Its cheap, well built and idiot proof, plug and play! Something to think about. If you want more info, E-Mail.
