Calling B&W speaker users with tube power amp

Tpsonic/Kevziek/All,

Thanks again for the helpful perpectives. I actually have asked around, even to BAT itself, and come out with the same conclusion, which is I probably need to bridge it as mono. I think then I will let go the vk60 option.

Another option I have in mind is actually similar to what was said by Kevziek -- rogue audio 150 mono blocks.
I have heard/read a lot about the magnum m120, but somehow haven't heard much about the 150. Perspectives anyone?

The Rogues are the solidstate of the "tube world".More top-end energy,but less "tube" timbre/harmonics.The B&Ws tend to be a little more forward in the highs,without damping them.The Rogue may cause listener fatigue,unless mated with a softer top-end component/cable.I think the ARC would probably fall into this region also.Maybe a Gamut or Plinius SB300,Lamm M1.1?

I'm driving my n804's with a Blue Circle BC28 hybrid(120wpc). I went hybrid because I wanted the slam of solid state to go with the tube sound. Highly recommended!

OK...thanks for all the perspectives. Happy listening

Audiodb, I must take issue with Tpsonic's comments on the Rogue. Rogue equipment is hardly "the solid state of the tube world." Perhaps those who like a bloated, over-caramelized, amorphous tube sound would feel that way. The new M150s are wonderful sounding amps with a full-bodied sound, and hardly cause listener fatigue on B&W's. They would be an excellent match.
