Welcome Raytrace. A 20 watt tube amp will drive the DI's nicely. I'm driving mine with a 24 watt Decware amp and love the sound I get. Can easily get SPL levels in the 90-100db range at my listening position 9' from the speakers. That's plenty loud for me as I usually prefer levels in the 70-80db range. With a more powerful amp the DI's could give you live concert sound levels.....oh how my wife would love that! I want to try an 8 watt 300B SET amp with DI's next or the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL 40. Does buying new components ever end? At least I'm set with speakers as the only ones I've heard that sound better than the DI's are the Coincident Speaker Technologies Pure Reference Extremes at $27k/pair......and that's way out of my price range.
