Are class A tube amps similar to class A solid state ...

in that small watts can drive electrostatic speakers ? 25 watt Mark Levinsons are famous for driving difficult loads . Have experienced it myself with a 60 watt class A Musical fidelity integrated driving my electrostats. Looking to try some tube amps for King Sound King v1 speakers . King Sound makes a 80 watt amp that is intended to be used with the most recent version of my speaker. It can be seen on their website . Some specs are shown . Leads me to believe there is a good match tube amp out there somewhere to drive them . Budget is around $2500 used . Thanks

I took Ralphs (Atmasphere's) advice and ordered the Zeroformer from Paul Speltz. Hope this helps in whatever tube amp i decide to get . I assume it will help with lower power tube amps .

Hello , I have received the Zero's , unfortunately i do not have a tube amp yet to give them a try . A couple missed buying opportunities and a small used market at the moment . Hopefully i can get one in house to try before the return period is over on the Zeros . Will keep you posted .
