best monitor for tubes?

I have enjoyed Platinum Solo's with wonderful bass extension driven by 35 tube watts per channel for near field listening. These are $700-800 used on Audiogon, very much a bargain. Rear ported so need at least 2 feet from wall behind speaker. Those who favor transistors prefer multi-hundred watts per channel to fill a larger room with this same speaker in its non-monitor "take no prisoners" Superman mode.

Hi Seth, The Lectron JH-30 brings back some great memories. At that time I thought it was one of the finest amps i ever heard. IMO, the Proac 1SC is the best speaker in their line. your comments are no surprise to me. Can't imagine, considering the title of this thread, you can do much better. Never heard them together but got a feeling you have a magical combination. Thanks for bringing back some great memories of the Lectron JH-30. Sounds like a killer setup

I would look into Living Voice. No, they aren't monitors, but would take up as much as space as any monitor with stands! Eccept, if you plan to place them on the bookshelfs. Plus, you wouldn't really need a SUBwoofer.

Reference 3A MM De Capo. I heard these speakers at the Stereophile show on Antique sound singled ended tube amps. The De Capo sounded very articulate and the bass was very good.

If you like the DECAPOS buy them,I did and Haven't looked back.See my system here at a-gon.
