Best tube amp for Wilson Watt/Puppy


Hello Friends,

Would anyone help me what is the best tube amp for Wilson Watt/Puppy.(exculde Lamm and under $10.000.00 new)

How about Cary 805ae and Melody pm845?

Thanks

Please let us know your impressions. I've had my eye on the deHavilland gear, especially the 30 watt amps. Thanks.
be warned-low power amps work great with the puppies except..........you will end up replacing the resistors in the protection circuit  more than you would like-

No, these SE's tubes won't drive the 7's impedance in the bass. They may sound ok in the mids and highs. 

The 7's are the best of all the Watt/puppy's, but also hard to drive in the bass to get the very best out of.
You need an amp that is very happy to see a 2ohm load at bass frequencies and power levels, usually a solid state amp domain.

From Stereophile:
" The Wilson Audio WATT/Puppy 7's  However, also like its predecessor, it will need a good high-current amplifier before it can be driven to satisfying levels. Its impedance drops to 2.4 ohms at 78Hz and remains below 6 ohms for much of the region where music has its maximum energy (fig.1). In addition, an impedance of 4 ohms at 59Hz is associated with an electrical phase angle of -34 degrees, which will add to the drive difficulty.

George, you know this is a zombie thread, right?

You have the best sayings Ralph, zombie thread, expectation bias ect you should write a book on sayings.

At first I thought you meant they were all zombies and can’t read graphs.
Now I see that the thread is 2008 old, then my post is directed just at the last poster.

Cheers George
