I've decided to try Tubes


I have been going back and forth a while. I was thinking of the Yamaha AS2100 to replace my B&K amp (ZU audio Omen Def speakers). For some reason I now have a tube bug. I first thought about DECWARE and now thinking of Primaluna after reading great reviews. If tubes are not for me, both should be easy to resell. I have an opportunity on a Primaluna Prolouge 5 stereo power amp. It has autobias (which is a must for me) and is easy to roll tubes. It comes with KT88's which seem to have better lower end than el34's (from what I read). 35 watts per ch is more than enough to drive my Omen Defs loud if needed (101 db). 

Thought's on the PrimaLuna and ZU combo (Peachtree NOVA-PRE)? I listen to Classic Jazz, Classical and Classic - Prog Rock mostly.

I would recommend the Atma-Sphere M60 Amps, Change the Stock Tubes to better 6SN7 Such as RCA or Ken RAD. You can thank me later :-)
Amta-Sphere M60s are a very interesting call...heard the Atma-Sphere Novacrons last week and they sounded fantastic.  I would like to hear the M60s to compare...the Novacron owner said if the Novacrons weren't there to compare, I would love the M60s, but the Novacrons are better on really, really top-end speakers.  Regardless, that puts the M60s in a great light, in my opinion...especially for the $.
