Tube Mono-Block Recommendation

Wavelength Audio and Art Audio are two of the best.

Dragon_vibe, the impedance curve for your speakers, as shown here, suggests that the tonal balance of the sound that is produced in the mid-range and treble regions will vary dramatically as a function of the output impedance and damping factor of the particular amplifier that is being used. And probably also with the robustness of the amp's power supply.

So I suspect that in the $12K price class you are considering, synergy between the amplifier and speaker could very conceivably be a more significant consideration than the intrinsic sonic character of the particular amp. My suggestion is that you research what amplifiers are being used, and have been used, by others who have your particular speakers.

Dragon,

You sure seem to be shopping for a lot of equipment, last week it was $ 20K speakers, this week $ 12K mono blocks ? Your looking for a complete new system ? or your just pulling our leg :-)

Good Listening

Peter
