Pass Labs xa - .5 amps

Silverline Sonata III. 93dB, 8 ohm nominal.

Silverline speakers are voiced with Pass Labs amplification

Wow. Those are nice. Very nice. What a great combination and the Silverline's look great in maple too. You really should put up a virtual system so we can all drool over it! ;-)

With all due respect, I do not understand why one would use efficient, tube-friendly speakers and then use a solid state amp. There are a number of reliable and easy tube amps out there (ie. BAT). Solid state should be for inefficient speakers (4 ohm and less, 90db and below) that have a different set of sonic priorities.

Totally disagree.
