Tube amp with Vienna Acoustics Beethovens?


Hey Everybody,

I currently runn VA Beethovens with a McCormack DNA 125 amp and VTL TL 5.5 preamp with a Rega Planet CDP. I was wondering if anybody is running a tube amp with the Beethovens. I was wanting to give a tube amp a try but only have about $2000.00 to spend. I prefer to buy used. Any suggestions? I live in an a condo so I can't really turn up the sound too much so high SPLs are not a priority. I listen to rock, bluegrass and I am just getting into classical.
Thanks,
Jim

I had a pair of VA Beethovens and now have the Mahlers, but I thought that the Beethovens were actually a little power hungry. I have flipped between the 4 and 8 ohm settings, but was not certain which sounded best. I am currently driving my Mahlers off of the 4 ohm setting from my Mcintosh Mc402.

They are a great speaker though and will sound wonderful with quality tubes!
