I agree modest powered tube amps will probably give a negative sound with the ATC SCM40's. However the next best thing is to try a tube preamp with a solid power amp atleast reasonable power or even ATC own 150 power amp (P1). ATCSCM40 speakers will show up the equipment used in the system. So different preamp can have influence on the sound a little akin to like flavouring coffee with milk or cream.
ATC SCM 40 v 2 and tube amplifiers
Hi,
Has anyone had experience driving the ATC SCM 40 ( passive version) with a tube amplifier of modest power ?
If so how did it go; and or how much power do they really need?
I am driving a set of 86 db spenders with 32 watts with great results; better than you would expect.
Thanks
