IMHO, tube amps are the way to go. I don't own a pair, but have listened to them several times at a local dealer while audioning cartridges. The solid state amps(no names, not the point) that I heard with them sounded cold and very hifi. FWIW, the national sales manager for Wilson uses Atmasphere but any high quality tube amp would work well(I heard Audio Research).
Watt Puppy 6 with tube amp.
Can anyone give some first hand advice or insight regarding the use of tube amp with wilson speakers. I have a audio research pre and bryston 7 amps, I am hearing quite a bit regarding a tube amp, I listen mostly to classic rock some jazz. The local audio store carries audio research. Is there problems today with bass control with newer amps, and is there alot of maintance on them, is a 200 watt amp enough to get the speakers really moving for a large 18 X 30 room.
