Best ARC tube amps for classical music?


I have thought of using an old ARC tube amp together with my Sonab OA 116 loudspeakers, and I am listening to classical music via a Thorens 126 gramophone.

I see there are many models of the old ones, and I wonder which of them be best suited for my loudspeakers and choice of music genre.

I am particularly occupied with the timbral sound of the musical instruments.

I have already been recommended a D-79, but this one is probably not so easy to get? Hopefully, there would also be some other models that woud do?

Best regards,

IMHO, I think you're heading in the wrong direction with those speakers, if you want to use an ARC tube amp. Low impedance and efficiency does not make a tube amp happy.
