Butler Audio makes 2-3-and 5 ch tube amps.
4 Channel Tube Amp
My first question should be is this an appropriate forum for the beginner just trying to get in the game. Referring me to other reading or forums would be great also.
I currently have a 4 channel set up which, because of the layout of my apartment really works well for me. I currently have an HK3600 integrated amp that feeds two sets of stereo speakers and a sub-woofer.
I'm itching to move beyond the integrated amp - preferably to an entry level tube amp like a dynaco st-70 or something priced similarly (I'd need pre at this point also).
My question is would I have to sacrifice the 4 channel + sub set up if I did get a tube amp? I don't think I've ever seen one that supports two sets of stereo speakers. Is there some way to split the signal after the amp? Is that defeating the purpose of a quality amplifier?
I need a lesson in high end stereo topology!
