Best monoblock tubes amp with Vandersteen 5As

You have heard them with two of the best - might listen to them with the Rogue 150W monoblocks (do not remember the model number).

If you have the opportunity to audition some other tube amps with the 5A's, then I would add the following to your list: Conrad-Johnson (Premier series); Manley Labs Neo-Classic; and VTL.

For sure you must try the ASL Hurricanes or VTL's 450's.

And for a little different sound..VAC 70/70.

As a dedicated Tenor Audio Pusher, and lover of the product, I can tell you that at CES last year, I lent a pair of Tenor OTL's to Richard to use with his 5A's in his room. It was easily the best sound I have heard out of the Vandersteen's. I have a number of customers using this combo and they have never been happier. The speaker is very OTL friendly.

This would be a very interesting question to pose to Richard.
