Omega Super Alnico Monitor/Aric Audio SE KT88
I love reading posts about omega speakers. They are so darn musical. I saw your speakers and they are beautiful! And as jayctoy pointed out, they ❤️ some tubes.

Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus
I'd really like to hear the cherry. I've always been worried about over-dampening the lightweight, in my case, rs5 driver.  
Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus
@rodge827 seems like some really solid advise. How was the transition from tubes to the maraschino with the rs7 driver?  
The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier
After trying a handful of amps I use the little LTA exclusively with my 98db omega speakers. Of course I’d dig some more headroom but ultimately the sound is breathtaking. I had Ben with mojo audio do his mods and use his illuminati v3 ps, which i...

I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
i briefly used an ncore class D amp which did everything right, except keep me in the sweet spot. excellent low end, great highs, whisper quiet but it was certainly uninvolving to my soul. not to say this doesn't happen from time time be it a set ... 
Want a new amp but what to get?
linear tube audio would be worth investigating with those speaks  
used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's?
Decware as I mentioned, and others on this thread, is excellent sounding gear. It may look utilitarian but far from cheap. If great sound, synergy with your speakers, pickup the phone and speak with builder/designer, and lifetime warranty - may no...
