What's an Audiophool to do?


Ok, here's my high class problem. I've been turned on these last few years to tubes, and now I'm living in the SET life. And loving it. I mean drop dead loving it. Whole nine tube SET lingo. But, when I want to go to SPL levels (and my speakers are 101db that can handle 300watts) that shake rattle and roll (and for complex dymanic symphony music) I need another 6db. Yes, that would be (for my speakers) ear bleed timber shaking level, but it's just for those urges. This has been going on for the longest while, but I just want to compromise with my SET sound. 95% of my listening time is satiated with what I have. I was thinking on MF's supercharger? Two more components, two power cords and a wife that will not go this way. Any suggestions? Or should I just leave it and accept my 95% of nirvana and leave the ear bleeding stuff to the young bucks? thanks in advance, warren

I have been toying around with the idea of a Pass XA amp and keeping my pre. Also there has been ooldes about the NuForce amps. That 150watts would do the job, but will it cut the audio mustard for a SET man? Save me guys.

Maybe the VTL's, with their pentode/triode switch could handle the duality of your needs?
