Wilson Benesche ACT 1 & Valve amp


I have Wilson Benesch ACT 1 speakers
with Tactic driver upgrades.
Is anyone using A vavle amp with them.
I'm looking for recommendations and an idea
of power requirements.
My front end is a Wadia 7 & 9 CD

Thanks for that Tommuch, AR was on the
top of my list. As I probably won't be able
to audition your views are apreciated.
What was the bass end like as I've found
before the bottom end of the ACT can get a bit
wooly and diffuse without suficent power ?

Dodgealum, I took the plunge and bought a pair of
vtl MB450 signatures to run my ACT's they sound fantastic
beter than the krell 300cx all round. The vtl's let you
switch between triode 200 watt and terode 450 watt (actual is nearer 500 !) I find that the ACT's don't seem to come 'alive' even with more delicate stuff and vocals till in terode mode. I used to run the ACT's biamping with cyrus 50 watt per chanel gear ( hardly high end I know) but again they seemed to strugle with the low power.
