Anyone out there using tube amps with the 3.5 or 3.6's? I am considering Sonic Frontiers Power 3's but I am wondering if they will have enough power for the lower regioins. Any advise on amps for these speaker (ss or tube) would be appreciated.
I have a pair of VTL 750's running Maggie 3.6. The sound is great. I tried the ARC VT100 and Atma-sphere MA-1, but liked the VTL's better. The right tube gear with Maggies is probably some of the best sound you can get in audio. I agree with Jtinn, the Wolcott would probably work well. Another idea is to get two used BAT VK60s for around 2K each and run them as mono blocks. That may be your best sound for $$$.
Look at Brian Damkroger's review in Stereophile, where he talks about being a tube guy, but advises, most strictly, against using any tubes with the 3.6. Go with a high-powered, ultra-fast power amp--Spectral, Classe, Levinson,Plinius etc.
