I've always felt that, while solid state will give you the better bass control in Dunlavy speakers, and there are some who like the Aloia amp with them, they really seem to come alive with tubed amplification. The best sound I've heard from the 4s and 4As has been with VTL and VAC amplification; the VTL did a better job in the bass, the VAC sounded terrific in the midrange. I think Mejames' suggestion is a good one; they also work well with the VTL 150 monoblocs and stereo amp.
