Yamaha ns 5000
I think its not a room issue you know why, I put my headphones on my pass amp it made them sound bright as well... it gave them the same fatiguing character. I am sure the x350.8 is warm relative to a lot of SS amps but im just really sensitive to... 
Yamaha ns 5000

Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps
I think i should be ok with at least 50 watts. I am trying the CJlp70S and R800i right now, both drive my speakers quite well. The CJ is warm and HUGE sounding. The r800i is smaller but more clear and resolving.

My friend let me borrow the r800i. I know you'll think im weird but I actually like it even better when I run my bottlehead moreplay into it (and NOT through the pre in). I know its like 2x pre amping but it just adds this tubeyness and richness w... 
Yamaha ns 5000
I wonder how the ns5000 compares to the atc scm 100 or 150.  
M900U vs the world
What do you guys think of SET or PP tube amps vs m900u? Any comparisons ?

@alphonsodamato  What amp/pre amp did you use for the razz? What are you using now ?  
Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...?
