If your speakers do present a difficult load, there is proabably no better all tube amp (hybrids would also work)to deal with dipping impedances the Music Reference RM9 Special Edition which is one of the few amps that actually increases power into 4 ohms (200 watts)compared with 8 ohms (160 watts) and that should be enough power to drive speakers with your sensitivity. However if I did have a difficult speaker load I would proabably look at the Pass XA.5 amps that Tvad recommends.
Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,,
I have a pair of Consequence Dynaudio, mk 2. They work well with my s-state 2x600 watts amp and sounds great esp at large volume levels. But I want to switch to tubes, and even triode if possible. Is good tube amplification unrealistic with these 83 db sensitivity speakers? I am probably not the only one with somewhat "difficult" speakers so all advice is welcome.
