It's hard to get a good tube amp for $500 new - you would probably be looking at buying direct from China or HK at that price, which is risky (but can work well). I would recommend buying used, in general.
For those speakers, which are very sensitive and should be an easy load, you can choose pretty much anything power-wise: even my 8WPC amps would be fine with them. Push-pull EL84 valves should produce about a dozen watts, which would seem a good place to start. -- adamslim Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others SB+, dCS Purcell & Elgar, Audion Pre, Welborne DRD 300B SETs, Lowther Big Fun Horns with PM6As ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60309 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
