recommendation for stereo tube amplifier for Marten Bird 2 speakers other than EAR....


Hi,

I am looking for ideas for my new Marten Bird 2 speakers.  I am getting excellent results with Pass Labs X260.8 monoblocks but would like a stereo tube option too and looking for ideas other than EAR 890.  As the Marten is open and transparent but is 89db I would like something that has strong bass for a tube amp.  I would prefer stereo tube amp as it gets hot in socal......

At a show the Marten Jango’s driven by all Zesto/Cardas and their Eros 150W mono’s. From the few I’ve listend to Maten’s are in the real deal bunch IMO.

My history: two Marantz 8B’s, MFA D75 and the exceptionally cool running Carver Tube 180’s drive my 87dB, 3.6 ohm three ways since there introduction just fine from the 4 ohm tap with no problems. They also have a 2 ohm tap.

Lots to chose from, have fun.
Thanks for the ideas I don't have room for monoblocks but was considering the VAC 200IQ but not sure if it would be much warmer sounding than the pass x260.8 and seems the 200IQ is frequent resold...
Look for a used Music Reference RM-200. Great sounding amp that is  built like a tank and sounds great.
