Hello Everyone. I'm a new-be whose putting together a music system

[Bill Rogers]

Hello, I'm a new-be who is just getting back into music after 40+ years.I just bought some Klipsch La Scala speaker & an Oppo Sonica DAC. Now I need an amp & preamp. Down the road I'll probably get a turn table & turner... Bill

With those La Scalas I think you should go tube all the way and don't look back! Jump down the rabbit hole we're all waiting for you here!

Thank You Everyone! Marine0811, what kind of speakers do you have. There BIG! Another hobby with a rabbit hole! LOL

They are 1977 JBL 4560's with Selenium horns on top. 30"wide x30" deep x 4'2" tall weighs about 150 pounds. And 25 watts

Welcome Aboard!!! LaScalas are a great speaker and don't require a ton of power to get loud (they are very efficient), but if you want in-your-face concert levels they will take some juice. Tubes are definitely an option to tame them down a bit, but look into the Crites upgrades as well.
