I love my big dinasour inefficient speakers. They sound great. I can't leave well enough alone though. Of course I'm looking for the next step in audio bliss. It's time I start talking Tube Power. I wanna use my inefficient 86db monsters. I wanna go Tube. I need suggestions and knowledge.
If you wanna talk about terminology like sensitivity vs inefficient... you should go start a thread somewhere else.
If you (even if your right) wanna talk about small watts and 90db and up efficient speakers… you should go start a thread somewhere else.
Currently I'm verticly bi-amped with two Carver C-500 amps. So at like 3ohm on the woofer and 3 ohm on the mids and tweets, I'm pulling something like 800 plus Change watts a side. It's manly to say that... but I wanna go Tube.
So what's myth and truth? If I were to go to two 100 watt mon blocks like VTL, Rouge or Antique Audio Labs.. would that be enough? Would I have even better sound maybe going with two stereo 50-60 watt per channel tube amps and verticly bi-amping again? Are higher quality 35-50 watt mono blocks really more powerful than inexpensive 100 watt monoblocks? There's lots of opinions out there… who has big obnoxious inefficient speakers and loving them for all their man card carrying lore? Let's hear your journey. Let's hear your triumphs, let's quietly hear of your tears and deep sorrow from paths that crushed your Audio dreams. Spill it.
