Tube amp suggestions-Dunlavy IVA

I use a Wavestream Kinetics Stereo V8 to drive my SC-IVA's. The V8 has four GE6550A's per channel to produce about 125wpc. It drives the IVA's to concert levels in my 17 foot by 30 foot listening room.

I agree with all of Raquel's suggestions, particularly the Lamms, which I own and find to be exceptional amplifiers and able to drive virtually anything out there. One more possibility is VTL, their amps, while not as smooth and refined as the ones mentioned, do well with the Dunlavy's, particularly in the bass (though I would opt for their 225 watt versions). ARC VT amps also work well with Dunlavys, though I find them to sound just a little lean compared to the others mentioned. While all of the amps mentioned here are somewhat pricey, your speakers are good enough to let you hear what you paid for.

Try the Cary SLI-80. Plenty of juice to drive them,and great sound. Look for the signatire model, it has ssome great mods, and makes a great amp better. Gool Luck! Gerry

I think my Joule Electra VZN100 manuals mention that the Dunlavy Princesses were used during the amp's development so I'd imagine they have some synergy. I'm sure Jud Barber could advise you on it.

Dodd Audio 120's, nuff said, save the $$$$, buy his pre-amp too, and still save. JMHO
