Tube amps under 1,800 for gallo 3.1's

This is the 4th thread you have started asking about amps for these speakers. How much more input do you need? Buy a SS or class D amp and a good tube preamp which is what almost everyone has already suggested. Tube amps are not going to get you where you want to be with these speakers for rock and roll.

You can get a new Wyred 4 Sound ST500 from Underwood hifi for 1,500.00 or another Bel Canto, or Belles, PS AUdio, an older Krell, Classe, or Pass Labs will probably all be a good match.

There are a bunch of great preamps from Manley,VTL,Rogue, Modwright,Cary,Audible Illusions, Audio Research.... All from just under $1,000 to $2,000 Wyred 4 Sound even has a new preamp out to match their amps for $1,795.

Except for the couple of brand new items in my list if you don't like the piece you can resell for pretty much what you paid for it and try something else.

I am going with manley snappers, and a bel canto pre3, i'll see how this combo works out

Him,

I hope you will update this thread after you have had the Snappers for a bit. I am interested in how they work with the Gallos.

1812,

I will post an update when I get them.

I thought I would add in that I am using a PS Audio GCC-250 as a power amp and a Rowland Consonance preamp. Tried several tube preamps --- but that Rowland is a really nice synergy with the Gallo 3.1's and the class D PS Audio. I was looking to open up the sound stage a little.
