Thanks for your help/suggestions. Exciting and interesting to hear that PL will be out with the 70-72 wpc amps. May be what I need for the Avalons which I absolutely LOVE.
Branimir,
As mentioned, I tried the VK-60s and they were indeed a very nice match with beautiful midrange. But the 60s I had (which belonged to a friend who let me use them while he remodeled his house) were very "tweaky" and, still are in that they sometimes emit "hiss" sounds from the speakers- could be tubes failing. My buddy is constantly changing tubes and trying to isolate hissing. This doesn't seem to bother him too much, but it would drive me nuts. I just want to enjoy the music and not bother with problems.
Therefore, I'd like to try something new and with warranty. Hence, the Prima Lunas.
Your advise to wait a couple months for the 70 wpc is well taken. I hope to have a review then as to how they match the Avalons. Any more info is greatly appreciated.
