Hello,
I agree with DJones51. They do sound the best on tubes because it helps knock down the highs and squeezes in a little bit of the mids. Even on tubes they are missing the sweet mids. The treble fills the room in a good way meaning they disappear. The bass is boomy. If that is the sound you like. Maybe if you like to play rock a lot. I would try Dali speakers for that price range. If you can spend more try Audio Physics. They are fun to audition, but not fun to listen to for a few hours.
