Good beginner tube amp suggestions

I'd go with a Rogue tube amp, they average 650 to 750. Very robust, lots of power and can handle a wide range of speaker types so you can try other speakers in the future if you want.

Don't forget Primaluna, whether integrated, stereo
or monoblocs, they're excellent. I've got the 6s
if you'd like to discuss.

If your system will work Ok with 20WPC, the Antique Sound Labs Wave AV-25 DT (or the older AV-20) is a nice choice. They cost $700 for the pair (monoblocs) new, but could be had for much less used. I've used the AV-20's in an office system for a few years, and they have been perfectly reliable and very nice sounding.

Sophia baby electric was what I tried first - $350 used, but it provided a LOT of what I get through a much more expensive amp now.

thanks folks. i'll get to researching these suggestions today!

fun stuff!
