ASL Explorer 805 DE/JM Lab Alto Utopia combo????

I am considering the Antique Sound Lab Explorer 805 DE 50 wpc tube amps as a second/just playing around set of power amps for my JM Lab Alto Utopias. They are currently driven by McIntosh 501's and I want to give the tube thing a whirl. I chose the ASL amps because of their price. Any comments regarding this combo are welcome.

That speaker dips to about 3 ohms and has a minimum power requirement of 40WPC.

For the same price, about $2000 used, a better choice IMO is a pair of Rogue M-120 Magnum. Better power supplies and more horsepower. Not to mention the relability issue.

Good luck.
