  do tubes rock ??
I will be purchasing a new amp/preamp setup for a set of Thiel 7's. My musical taste is rock and roll music and I like it loud. I have a small dedicated listening room (20 x 24). I love the warm sound of tubes but am concerned that they will not provide the sound pressure levels I want from the speakers. Am I crazy ??

Out of curiousity, was the Boogie a double or triple rectifier ? As to the Peavey amps, i've always found the Ultra 120 to be far more satisfying and versatile than the 5150. Sean >
