What new amp for my Merlins

I run Cary 805 mono blocks in my 15 x 18 x 8 room with absolutely breath taking results. Highly recommended.

It could fit on the bottom but I have my 5 channel amplifier in there. In addition, I have 6 and 8 year old children and I'm afraid they may hurt my tubes.

It does put out heat, but every tube amplifier does. I had a 50 watt deHavilland SET that put out twice as much heat, and a RAM Labs labs amplifier that put out about the same amount. I've also had VTL MB450's that put out a lot more heat, and the VTL tiny triodes that put out a little less. I guess its all relative, but the ARS puts out more heat than most solid state unless it is biased into class A.

I'm sure they sound great, but I can't get past the looks of the 6packs(or Atmasphere for that matter).

Could you post a pic of your set-up?

Tabl,

The Six's are actually quite attractive, but just like anything else subjective. I don't batteries for my digital camera or I would.

The six pacs are even more attractive with the silver face plates. Don't let looks fool you. I owned a V12i and many Cary people preferred the six pacs to those amps. With silver face plates if looks are what concern you, these should address that issue.
