Tubes with Tylers


Hello to all, I'm thinking of trying some tube amps and have Tyler Acoustics Ref III speakers and like to get some feedback on what tube amps have worked well with them. Budget is $2500 and will buy used. I'm looking at Rogue 120 monos, AES six pacs, Dodd monos etc, etc. I have heard good things about these three amps, any others I should be looking at? Thanks.

FWIW I have some Tyler Linbrook Sig Systems 1 piece and I have driven them with a 35 wt EL34 amp, a 35 wt KT88 amp, a 80wt KT88 amp, and a 160 wt 6550 amp. The only difference I hear in my medium size room at volumes which don't overload the room, is the differences in the amps themselves, not the power output of the amp. The small amps are driven off the 4 ohm taps and the large amps off the 8 ohm taps. The only amp that I disliked was a 100 wt SS amp which was downright dullish even thought it has plenty of current. Personally I preferred the 80 watt PP tube amp off its 8 ohm tap. More than enuf power for the bass - tight & full. The small amps were not as tight (EL34's) or aas deep (KT88) but I think that had more to do with design than anything else.
