Round 2: Tubes amps, no ss discussion

Thanks for all the input on the first round. Let's look at Manley vs. Consonance vs. your choice. Here are the criteria. Running 85db mini monitors with passive woofer system that just image out of this world. They are clean, natural, accurate and musical. I have a CJ MV 60 and am potentially seeking a slightly more dynamic and aggressive sound without giving up anything that the CJ offers. Price - up to 4K. If there is a SS amp that you think fits the bill, please mention it. Or, is a tube transplant a solution?

Seek ye out an Aleph 3, 4, or 5 before you buy.

Both will retain almost all of the tube virtues you like but offer what you miss. They are the best of the SS breed.

Since your already into tubes you ain't looking for ground moving amps. Just more accent on the music.

It may be what your looking for. The Aleph 3 has only 30 watts but is the best sounding of the bunch.

good luck,
