Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase


I recently went to audio dealer near me and by accident decide to listen to a used pair of egglestonworks andra.  I must say I was completely blown away by the sound. I decided I will listen one more time this weekend.  And for the price being very affordable I will put them in my bedroom.  They were hooked up to prima tube. But I dont want to put tube in my room. And want to keep amp and pre under 2 or 3k. Any suggestions? Used is fine. Ty

I have the EgglestonWorks Fontaine Signatures (bought from a fellow Agoner) and I first drove them with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium amp, all NOS input and SED EL34 Winged C power tubes. Sounded like enough power to me as the speakers play loud. Then  I got the new Audio Mirror Reflection 45 watt mono blocks as I was really curious about these amps and could afford Vlad’s introductory price, and I had never had monoblocks.  I am happy with the results but I have never heard the speakers with solid state. I am tubes all the way, phono pre, pre and power. I am surprised there do not seem to be more EgglestonWorks owners after I viewed their website seeing they are worldwide and apparently used in studios. Made in Memphis, TN. Good service too as I needed a pair of grilles for the Fontaine Signatures, which they made for a very reasonable cost.
