To all tube lovers.......


To all the tube lovers out there: If you COULD NOT listen to a tube amp and you HAD to go solid state or digital, what amp would you get to replace your tubes? I've always been a tube guy. Every amp I've ever owned has been a tube amp. However, I may get a new speaker that is 88 db @ 4 (maybe 6), ohm. If so, I must get a higher powered amp. Keep in mind, I"m not just looking for any amp. Preferably 100 watts or more. Solid state? Digital? I've heard wonderful and not-so-wonderful feedback on Nuforce and Spectral in the digital camp.

I just don't want to regret getting out of tubes just so I can change speakers.

Possibly because some of us are not so wedded to the format as to the quality of implementation...

Hovland amps, like the Radia, are decent sounding to me and several of my friends who are more partial to tube gear. The company is no longer around, so there might be service issues, but, that would also mean that their used stuff will be cheap.
