If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp?

Hey Finsup, In broadly general terms, solid state amplifiers are the better choice for very difficult to drive speakers. Speakers with typically low impedances (4 Ohms) or that have extremely low impedance points, such as electrostatics, are usually better driven by a solid state amplifier. You may read members asking about whether speaker X or Y is "tube friendly" or not. This is why. Martin Logan electrostatic speakers are classic examples where a tube pre and ss amp is a delicious combination. |
