If you add even one good powered sub, JL Audio or REL you are adding 1000 watts or more of SS power to your system. And you keep the beauty of tube amplifiers. Sure get a bigger tube amp over time but the sub does what you need right now in one easy step. I'm running Yvettes on CJ Art 150S tubes and a JLAudio F113 sub. Enjoy.
will changing to solid-state make the bass in my wilson sophias better at low volume?
I've noticed that my sophias really shine when they're cranked up a bit, which is great, but I'm wondering if I can't get more of that, esp. the bass, at lower volumes. my tube amps (Cary Slam-100s in triode) are ~50w/ch, more than the 25w/ch minimum wilson recommends. it seems to me that I could either get a sub or try a solid-state power amp. it'd be easy enough to try either/both, but I'm curious what people have to say. thanks!
