As it has been stated in your other thread , the De Capo's are very tube friendly !

HAPPYM ; I can only speak from my experience here . I have heard my De Capo I's with a Cayin KT88 , Cary Sli80 and Prima Luna Prologue 2 which are all integrated amps . The Cayin and Cary were what I would (in my limited experience) call the typical tube sound . They were warm in the mids and rolled off in the highs . The Prologue gives me better extension at the top (not etched) with a less colored presentation overall . It also has more detail throughout .
I also heard the De Capo i's with a Cary SS amp containing a tube buffer with a CJ pre . It sounded harsh and lifeless . All of the Cayin and Cary auditions were done at the same session in the same room .
I hope that this helps .
