Lush and Romantic Tube Amps
Hi All -
I am on a quest for a lush, warm and romantic tube amp. Ideally, it should be 75 watts and upwards. I’m in a large room and my speakers are 87.5 sensitivity and 8 ohm. The room is large.
The system:
LTA preamp
Innuous Zenith music server
Merason Dac 1
Cardas Clear cables
Suggestions are welcomed.

OP and @facten I’ve heard the Leben extensively with 86dB Harbeths and it’s a great match. |

Bluethinker--yes, I would be a little concerned about an older CJ amplifier. I'd probably send the unit to CJ if I got it used to have them check it out, Another possibility is VAC. You might like their older amps like the Renaissance 70/70. VAC is very good about supporting their older amps, if you get one used. |
