Like I said, the dealer may be Mother Theresa, but if Fezz is driving a pair of KT88s with a single 12AX7, that makes me wonder about how it might sound. Normally you would want to have a separate driver stage if the input tube is a 12AX7, because 12AX7 does not swing much current to drive two such power tubes. There may be an invisible SS driver stage, which would render my comment moot. Anyway, the proof of the pudding would be to borrow an amplifier for home audition, if possible. On the subject of power, I neglected to take into account the nominal impedance of your particular speakers. If it's less than 8 ohms, that might suggest Mijo was right to suggest using two of these 45W amplifiers strapped for mono, if indeed they can be strapped for mono, but that gets VERY expensive.
FEZZ audio
I'm thinking about adding a tube amp and turntable to my system.
I'm in the research phase right now. Totall budget would be around 10K for amp, phone stage and TT. I'm vacationing in Denver which has some preatty cool hi fi stores. At least compared to Chicago where I'm from. Anyway, I stopped in Aural Hi Fi yesterday and the owner was awesome. Very knowledgeable and eager to help. He suggested to me the FEZZ Titania amp based on my speakers which are 92db sensitive. Looking into FEZZ more it seems that they are preatty new but have a good rep as far as SQ and build and value for money. Anyone have experience with FEZZ products or have any suggestions in the 4 to 5k range for a stereo tube amp?
