| Tube Amp for Green Mountain Audio Callisto Scott,Tho' I not owned the exact speaker you own, I did own the Green Mtn C1.5i 3-way floor-stander. My speaker was a 6-Ohm load just as benign as your stand-mount. I was quite successful driving my floor-standers using 2 very modest amps - the Jo... | |

| Cat JL2 with blown board. Advice needed Tfrumweiller,good response from Ken himself. I tend to agree w/ him about DF being an indicator of bass response given that there is much interaction of the amp w/ the speaker to make just DF be the sole parameter.Very interesting comments on the ... | |
