| The Audio Gods are tough but fair-Have you had the "Curse of the 300B" ? Interesting reading about these amps!However I still haven't found my stereo tube amp for my 101 dB / 4Ω horns, even theoretically. | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers I’m not looking for an integrated amplifier, never liked them, need the flexibility of a preamp.These Line Magnetics are very rare in this NA market at this point, at least what I can see. They may be good though. Thanks. | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers I kind of understand now these particular types of tube amps and how should they be matched.And more and more I think that the problematic thing here is the 4 Ω / 101 dB combination for the speakers I have.So there is no need for high power, that'... | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers That's right, I'm not driven here by need of high power.The speakers are highly efficient here with 101 dB, but also they are 4 Ω in impedance which I guess will limit the amp selection.Here is the Atma-Sphere S-30 but they want 8 Ω and up speaker... | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers How about Atma-Sphere S30, SETs from Dehavilland like Aries 845s, even the inexpensive Jolida SETs if you can find one.Perhaps someone can chime in regarding experience with 300Bs when dealing with a 4ohm load? That would help him narrow things ... | |

| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers First post here but not my first Hifi rodeo. Check out the primaluna HP. It will come with EL34s. Roll those out and roll in KT88 or KT 120’s. I got from Upsacle audio. Ask to speak with Kevin. Before rolling tubes listen to the 34’s. I’m using ... | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers You mentioned that you'd like to keep the ss pre, however I'm going to recommend that you try a tube preamp for a couple reasons. The preamp tubes can and will tame the treble. Preamp tubes generally live much longer. And lastly, rolling preamp ... | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers All right, I've got interesting and helpful responses, thanks for each and everyone. You could get a Rogue Stereo 100 100wpc tube amp for around 3 grand. It uses KT120 output tubes and it is a tube rollers dream. This looks something serious to ... | |
