I'd recommend anyone to try tube amps, but: - The Jolida will drive your 601s, but not to a real party level - Your proposed system would be not the most balanced. That's fine if you're planning to upgrade the speakers within a year or so, but if not, you may do better to think more about system synergy. My first tube amp was a 10W Audio Innovations, and I had it driving some old KEFs. It sounded great, much better than the Audiolab/Cyrus/Rotel/Arcam integrateds that I tried, and it was loud enough for a teenager into Hendrix (albeit one whose parents weren't...)
