Felt it was time to get into this, as it has not really been discussed in detail in the past. Who is running their W60's, W70's, or even W90's with modern tube amps. My guess is, there is a fair share to be mined there, and yet, I don't hear much talk about. Wharfedales sound great with all sorts of vintage gear, but I don't know too many people who are running their old Wharfies with amps and/or preamps from the past 30 years or so, or even '70's high-end tube stuff (rather than the usual early to mid '60's fare). I'd be interested to hear how a pair of W90's would sound with 30wpc of Audio Research, or one of those modern boutique-style flea amps (or not so-flea). Wharfedales of old do very-well with TOTL vintage tube gear,, so I gotta' wonder how they react to modern TOTL tube rigs, like tube monoblocks and such. I know some do extremely-well, but I'm sure there are a few that don't really make a good match. Wharfedales definitely reward quality in the case of tube-ERA gear, but I bet there's some truth to it with modern tube gear as well.
Anyway, ...Old Wharfies and modern tube rigs... Who got 'em?
