Tube amp for Zu Omen
Looking for recommendations for a tube amp to drive a pair of Zu Omen DWs that are on order. So far, on my short list for consideration are the Decware SE84UFO (or the SE34i.5 Rachel), the Coincident Dynamo, the Line Magnetic 211iA and the Cayin A-50T. Scanning the forums, I almost pulled the trigger on the Decware SE84UFO having heard about its holographic soundstage and transparency. However, that the 2W seem a bit too low in my 12 x 20 room. Also, tube rolling isn't an option with that Decware model if I wanted some flexibility. I've also heard about the Bottlehead Stereomours but am a complete newbie so dont have the confidence or time to work on a DIY project. Are there any other brands I ought to consider given my rather modest budget (would like to keep it under $2000 or so)?
I listen to a mix of folk (Dylan/Peter Paul Mary), Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, Floyd, jazz (Brubeck, Miles Davis, Diana Krall, Buena Vista Social Club etc.) and I plan on playing at low to moderate volumes.
Appreciate your help!

I recommend Will Vincent's custom-modded Dynaco ST70. Outstanding quality and beautiful workmanship! I own his single-end 45 (built on the same chassis - beautiful gloss white finish!). The SE45 is only 1.75 watts, so it may not go loud enough with the Zu Omen. But the ST70 with 30+ watts will do nicely! The price is about $1400 (and well worth it!). Will is in Idaho. I will try to post his phone number. |
I'd be shocked if the SE84UFO didn't get it done for you. Did you see this review? https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2017/07/29/mini-review-zu-audio-dirty-weekend-omen-version-ii/ |
