Suggested tube amp with First Sound Deluxe?

The Deluxe is very dynamic- Cary is easy going but might be livened up by the Deluxe. I would be very interested in that combo as I also have a very dynamic preamp and am looking for a tube amp. Mabe the VTL 150's would show off the dynamics of the deluxe a lot more- but would that combo be as musical?? Thats the problem I'm having. It's impossable to know until you get the amp in your system.

You are asking the wrong question. The First Sound will work fine with just about anything. Your decision should (must!) be driven by the speakers you are using.

You should match amp to speakers not preamp to amp.

To answer your question, try the Antique Sound Lab Hurricane amps. However, as others have noted, match the amps to the speakers. The Alon line works exceedingly well with the speakers, as noted by HP.

The speakers I'm considering (in order of preference) are Silverline Sonata III, Coincident Total Eclipse, Sonus Faber Cremona, Von Scheweikert VR-4.
