Best tube mono blocks under $15,000?

Best,

A slight correction to my earlier post: The reference to a 0.5 ohm output impedance of the MC2301 applies to the 8 ohm output tap of the amp. If the 4 ohm tap is used instead (and that tap stands a good chance of being sonically preferable with this speaker in terms of amplifier loading), the output impedance would be about 0.27 ohms, bringing the tonal effects of impedance interaction somewhat closer to those of a solid state amp.

Sam -- thank you kindly!

Just FWIW, based on the impedance curve I have seen of this speaker, the MA-1 should do just fine on it- although it may be a good idea to use a zobel network centered at about 1 KHz.

Alternatively a set of ZEROs could be employed.

Keep your 501s.

Thx for all the input. Seems my amp preamp combo may be serving me well. I think I'll audition the Mc275 C2300 combo and go from there.
