I think a good tube amp would drive those no problem. I wouldn’t hesitate to use my Jolida Fusion 6802. It’s currently driving a bookshelf speaker with a 86db sensitivity with no problem. I will be going to a floorstand speaker in the future and would like something in the 88-92 sensitivity range.
Will a tube amp work well on Revel f208?
Hi,
Two different stereo store salesmen both told me to use a tube integrated amp (primaluna evo 400, or Ayon V) on my Revel f208. I live in an apartment, so I rarely listen at concert levels (rock,pop,80's,modern music,etc) , But due to that speaker's impedance swings, it's in the 4 ohm region a lot and needs a 4 ohm capable amp. I was told by someone else that the Revel f208 likes high current, (Which won't be found in a tube amp?). I was considering something like Hegel or anthem integrated STR before the prima Luna evo 400 was recommended. Can Somebody with actual knowledge chime in so I am not at the mercy of salesman or misinformation? The speakers are revel f208 and I'd like to stick with an integrated and stream for simplicity (I have node 2i)Thanks!
