Usher X719 and tubes


Anyone ever try these with tubes? And how is there overall sound? I will be using my Audio Space Duntonic 3i Int w/EL34.

I have to disagree with Nick72 on this one. I have been an Usher dealer for several years and also deal primarily with tube amplification. Some of my happiest X-719 customers are driving these speakers with tube amps of 22 watts to 70 watts. I have one customer who tested his freshly modified 845 amplifier (22 watts) on his X-719s. In th eend, he had to purchase another pair of 719s to permately mate with the amp. I have several customers running these speakers with 50-70 watt tube amps and are extremely happy.
In the end, the decission would have to be based on your listening habits and if possible, audition the speakers with a tube amp of similar wattage and design.
