ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8

Well I am finally listening to the 3.8s through the D250MII tube amp. 250 tube watts is really amazing but I'm not sure I want to go with the glowing inferno of bulbs. They really scare the crap out of me an I'm not sure about all the biasing that would be required. I'm thinking the D400mkII but am not sure that it will have the same dynamic slam of the tubes. I have heard that tube power is much different than solid state and I may need a pair of D400's to achieve the same raw power.
With that out of the way I can honestly say that there is no going back and I don't think that the VT100 would ever satisfy my needs. There are just too many times that I want to crank it up, and these Proacs love it.

300.2 from arc=100.2 with balls!!!!

Thats one I haven't heard of!

Alun,did you already purchase d250? great amp!if you didnt,try 300.2 by arc.like 100.2,it is tube-like,but with tremendous power.like you,i love pro-ac,but opted for dynaudio.arc is made for pro-ac.try the 300.2.my dilema was the same as yours.with this amp it is solved.finally arc made a sweet sounding amp with great power.only gigital switching at the output.this allows it to have lots of power without digital sound.most natural sounding amp i have owned.remember,i wanted to upgrade from 100.2 but could never find a sonic match.some had more power,but at midrange cost.i heard 300.2 and bought it.magical midrange but with power,and very natural.

Yes I bought the D250mkII. It's excellent as well. My wife would disown me if I got rid of it!
I will keep the SS ARC in mind though and would love to hear one.
Thanks for your reply
