To answer your question, an amp quest and I'm done.
The room defines the speakers (small speakers in a large room or large speakers in a small room are not going to get the job done). So for my small room (15' x 11') I selected Reference 3A MM De Capo i speakers. Then I went on an amp quest to power them;
up first a solid state amp, Simaudio W-3 125 wpc
followed by a hybrid, Blue Circle BC6 25 wpc class A
followed by a tube push-pull, Melody 2A3 18 wpc mono blocks
and finally to a SET amp, Aria 2A3 5 wpc.
Aria, 2A3/vt-229(6SL7) SET, Italian designed - French made,
...and it sounds even better than it looks!
