Best match for Cary SLP98 Preamp

I found publishing numbers on the Dahlquist DQ-10 that say:

Frequency Response: 37Hz - 27kHz +/-3dB
Efficiency: 86dB/1W/1M
Crossover Frequencies: 400Hz, 1K, 5K, and 12.5K

Looking for a good set of powerful tube monoblocks (used or seconds - roughly $1,500) to run them.

Just get the Cary CAD 120s. Mine works fine with the 98P.

Cary V12 is a good match sonically and visually ... should be enough power in your relatively small room maybe even in triode mode.

Ditto the recommend on the Cary V12 - and you can easily switch from the sweeter triode mode to the more powerful ultralinear operation when you need more oomph. Great match with the SLP98!

A few years ago I had a slp98 experience that reminded me of the 3 bears. An 88r which I tried to like was too small. Then I switched to mb500 that was too big. Before both purchases I tried the V12 and it sounded just right. Unfortunately the first time the V12 was too expensive and because of a move to FL the second time the V12 was too hot. Someday I'd like to put the 98/V12 together in a second system. Most likely I'd be a happy bear.
