This is the amp I am using to drive them right now. It started its life as a Cary Rocket 88r. I modified it to the hilt with....
- all high quality film caps in the power supply (Clarity TC, ASC, Obbligato) and increased the capacitance. Needed to add a wooden expansion chassis to fit the film caps in the power supply. A double decker build.
- Arizona capacitor blue cactus coupling caps
- Western electric NOS hook up wire
- Mills MRA resistors
- Moved the RCA jacks right next to the input tube and also made more direct connection in addition to shortening the signal path
- removed all electrolytics caps and replaced with Clarity and Theta caps.
- removed binding posts and use Teflon posts to "clamp" the output transformer leads directly to the nude speaker cable.
- direct soldered high quality power cord
There is more, but you get the idea....
Here are some pics.
