which tubes for which genre ?


i have finally decided to turn to tubes but have no idea where to start, i've been reading into 2a3 and 300b triodes but they seem to have a reputation to shine in accoustic and vocals. i mainly listen to rock do these tubes do well in rock or am i better off looking elsewhere? i use the dynaudio audience 42's

Just before Ralph (Atmasphere) chimed in I was in the process of recommending his amps (Atma-sphere) for the Dyns and those that want to rock with tubes. The 60 watts the M60 pushes with the zeros to raise impedance would do justice to the Audience 42's and most dynamic driver speakers. Despite Ralph's comments I would say add a good sub because of the small woofers in the 42's and rock the joint.

I am driving ACI Jaguar 2000's with M60 v.III amps with great satisfaction. The Jaguars have Dynaudio drivers but the Atma-sphere amps have never blinked. Bass below 70hZ is handled by an ACI Titan sub.
