Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia?


My Quicksilver mini mites work OK with Wilson Sophia IIs, but I'm constantly wondering how well the higher powered QS monoblocks would fare. Very interested in the V4, the Silver 88 or even the mid-monos. Which do you think would sound best, and why?

Listening to mostly vinyl in an 11 x 16 x 9 dedicated room. My VTL ST150 bests the QS mini mites (especially in low end impact), but not by much.

What type tube are you using now? If you go with the 88 you must use a KT88 tube. The V4 and mid- monos will allow you to use different type tubes. Just remember there is a big difference in the type of tubes that are used. I have a QS Silver 70 and I like the option of using different tubes.
In the mini mites, I've got EL34s, though it does allow other types such as KT88, 6550c etc. The VTL uses strictly 6550C.

Didn't expect that tube swapping would make as much difference as changing QS monoblocks. I do like the idea of having options with the QS amplifiers. I thought the Silver 88 monoblocks could also use several different tube types?
The Mini-mites do seem underpowered on paper, but if they are doing OK (but not great) to your ears, then who are we to judge? So it appears that you are not looking for more volume, but more headroom, is that correct? Not sure how that translates to choice of an amp; perhaps some of our more technically knowledgeable members (just about everyone) could opine on that issue.
Tube swapping makes a big difference. A kt88 is a more powerful tube and has a brighter larger sound compared to the EL34. It all depends on what speaker you are using. If you go on the QS site you will see what tubes can be used with his amps.
