What tube amps for the Quad ELS 63

I've had Quads all my musical life and I would say that the advice given above holds good. I have nothing to add to that or to disagree with. Linn and Quad musically do not go very well together.The Quads show up mercilessly all the inherent faults of the Linn stuff. If you want to stick with the CD player, why not try to get one of the older CJ amps, which would give it some warmth. Stay away from AR gear, its too "cold" in that combination. The Berning mentioned above, would be a possiblity, a RM amp, would do as well, and Jadis, the 80 monos of course, but they cost a packet, or the Defy 7 by Jadis, which has lots of punch. I am not familiar with other tube gear in the 100 to 150w range, so I am also curious, what the other contributors are going to say.
Cheers,

To come back again to this old thread:
Curio, I agree with you. The JA 30s are sublime. However they won't quite be able to tickle out the (already somewhat limited dynamics)of the 63s in comparison to what the JA80 were capable of, if tubed right-vide Greg's post above.
Cheers,

Atmasphere has made an excellent point. After abandoning the 63s for the big Sound Labs I switched from Jadis to his OTLs and have not had a single regret since.

(Audiophiles are fickle and unfaithful. Divorce is cheaper in this field, though not quite inexpensive all the same.
Regarding my new gear (SLs and OTLs) I've been faithful for over four years now and intend to remain so.
