I'll go as far to say it's not the tube amp but rather your choice of tubes. Vintage little Mullards are extremely warm sounding. Vintage Tung Sol 6550's solid plates are warm like Mullards but with the EL34's glorious mids that are known for but with a lot more low end and power. I was never a fan of current production tubes. I had the Octave V70SE and later the V110 with a black box. I even had the V40SE for a short while. All were good but as you move up the line you gained more 'control' of the music.
Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?
What would you say is the fattest, warmest fullest sounding Tube amp to fatten up
Merlin VSM's?
They are 8 ohm, and easy to drive. 30wpc would do.
From my understanding, through reading here, the Famous match with AtmaSphere s30 actually doubles up on the natural detailed and spacious yet lean character of the Merlins.
Which Amp would do the opposite - be a little forgiving and sweet in the higher mids and fatter and fuller in the lower mids?
Thanks
