Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?


What would you say is the fattest, warmest fullest sounding Tube amp to fatten up
Merlin VSM's?

They are 8 ohm, and easy to drive. 30wpc would do.

From my understanding, through reading here, the Famous match with AtmaSphere s30 actually doubles up on the natural detailed and spacious yet lean character of the Merlins.

Which Amp would do the opposite - be a little forgiving and sweet in the higher mids and fatter and fuller in the lower mids?

Thanks

I just rolled out some well matured Brimar 6L6GCs and put in some lightly used Valve Art KT66s.
The Brimars sound raunchier but a little lean.
The Valve Arts have a much better bottom end but sound airier as well. These will be staying put for quite some time I'd say.
Hope this helped.
I owned the Merlins at one time. They sounded very good with Quicksilver Audio M80 el-34 tube amps.
I agree on #4, no power conditioners.

They cannot fix a difficiency in an amplifier's design. The resistance of the series chokes adds to the resistances in the primary circuit. They add yet another power cord and socket,more resistance. Here we are trying to lower the resistance in the primary and then go and add perhaps more than we have subtracted.

Do any power conditioners give their effective series resistance?
@ramtubesNot all power conditioners are the same!! However most offered to high end audio seem to be so much junk. There are some that have no series chokes at all, but still are able to provide a pure sine wave at full power, which can be quite a lot.

You might want to take a look at some of the Elgar power conditioners like the 3006 series and you will see what I mean.
Duder, I own the VSM-BM
 I changed the speaker wire.  3rd time was a charm   Also be aware of the recording.  Run the BAM on battery this helps
 4% better  ( that's a Bobby thing %%  )But I forget to use it a lot or forget to switch it back
 Not sure how old the post is.
