Cary 805 vs 211 amp


I have the Cary SLP-05 preamp. Looking to get an amp. Powering perhaps the BW 800 diamonds... 90db/1watt/1meter sensitivity.

Listen high 80db usually.

Btw, what's the overall reliability of a tube amp?

I must agree with Brf, as the 800 Diamond is not a good match for tubes due to the extreme variations in its impedance and phase angle. Take a look at the graph here.
