Wanting to try a tube amp.

Looking at  an ARC Ref 110 to go with my Ls28se. Used is fine with me want to keep it under 4k. I only stream thru a node 2i and Audio Mirror iii se. Speakers are GE Triton Refs. Any other thoughts for me? Room is 14 wide 24 deep 8 high. Listen to mainly Pink Floyd, ELP,  and rock in general. Don't play loud, about 75db. I'm already deaf and have a pretty decent noise floor in my head to compete with. Thanks.

I’ve been driving my GE Ref’s with a Carver 275 for about a year..  Sounds great and have a Prima Luna preamp on the Carver..My listening room is 16X22X10.  I listen at 85-90 db and the amp doesn’t break a sweat and the tubes are warm only when driven hard...
