Are Low Power Tube Amps Worth The Troubl


Some people say that low power tube amps are more musical then their higher powered cousins. This whole 2A3 thing has my interest but such low power really paints you into a corner when you look for speakers. I would like to hear some input from some of you guys that had the nerve take the plunge and what your results were. Please mention names.

Don't even think about these amps until the speakers of your dreams are in your house and paid for. If they happen to match well with the 3 watt amps like Art Audio etc. it's the way to go but don't buy the amp and then go searching for speakers that will play loud enough for your taste. And also- use the Cary 300b (15watt) mono amps as a reference to test any lower power amps, as it's very hard to get more musical than these and the Cary's will play most average effecient speakers with medium impedences just fine.
